I use Cloudflare tunnels for this very reason, you can protect access to the page behind a login (I use azure AD).
It basically acts like a reverse proxy allowing me access to those local resources without anything being installed on the client computer.
I had the same problem as OP. My solution was to port forward to my server but then block connections from all IP addresses accept from my work, which I added to an allowlist.
It’s working well so far, but I think the Cloudflare tunnel is the better option.

This is the right answer.
The only other solution I can think of would be to put a device in the middle (such as this router).

Or you can use the CF Tunnel equivalent from Tailscale, called Funnel.
