If you are the only user and don't need to use those apps in devices you don't own a vpn is the way to go.
If not. Depending the number of users you could do some heavy ip geoblocking to at least reduce the exposed surface.
There are a few services I have just like 3 IPs allowed to get a response from caddy, any other ip gets 403 error.
