Not even looking into VPNs in general. He can start by looking into tailscale specifically. But I agree opening ports should be a NO GO, especially for beginners.
Comment on Where do I even start?
abeorch@friendica.ginestes.es 2 weeks ago@LordKitsuna @Toasted_Breakfast I wouldn't recommend this as a starting point. Rather I would go down the route of starting to learn about VPNs and DMZs - Open ports on networks can end badly.

DMZs on consumer hardware aren’t a good idea either. Recently checked my DSL router out of curiosity after reading a post about it . Seems what consumer hardware does in a DMZ is dropping the firewall to the outside completely for the affected devices while not isolating the rest of the network from them.
