You can use a VPN instead for this. Which is a good idea in general, in my view, unless you need your resources to be publicly accessible.
Although I agree that even LAN services should ideally have some sort of credentials anyway.
Using a VPN does work for restricting outside access, however I found that for me this was not convenient enough for two reasons:
I haven’t used it, but most people consider Tailscale to be easy to setup. But of course, what is hard or easy varies from person to person.
You can leave it on all the time and configure it to not route internet traffic through the VPN (if you don’t have the upload bandwidth at home).
