Are the free limits suitable for light media streaming by a few users? I’m currently running a simple setup with Caddy reverse proxy and port knocking, but my ISP doesn’t do static IP and they change my address every few months.
Comment on How do I access my services from outside?

I’ll recommend netbird as its entirely running on your server, is free, and I found it way easier to set up compared to Tailscale/Headscald

The free version is mainly just a number of user and device limit. Although the relaying service might be limited as well, but that should only matter if both of your clients have strict NAT, otherwise the Wireguard tunnels gets directly connected and no traffic goes through Netbirds managed servers.
You can also self-host the control plane with pretty much no limitations, and I believe you no longer need SSO (which increased the complexity a lot for homelab setups).

I think this may be a your milage may vary thing. I only personally use netbird for remote server management, as I barely consume anything other than streamed music remotely. Its possible the free speed limits are not suitable for 1080p video streaming

So is this like a Tailscale alternative and not a way to expose your services?

Correct. Its just a mesh VPN
