The more I am selfhosting the more ports I do open to my reverse proxy.

I also have a VPN (wireguard) but there are also 3 family members that want to access some services.

Open ports are much easier to handle for them.

How many users do you have and how many ports are open?

My case: 4 users (family)/ 8 reversed proxy ports

How many users and open ports have you?

        Cloudflare DNS basically, but it can be implemented at nginx level using geoip2 modules (I do both, because some of my services don’t play well with Cloudflare proxied DNS). The cumbersome part is keeping geoip database up to date but I’m sure there are plenty of tutorials online.

        I know cloudflare has a free tier and allows you to put rules like this in place. AFAIK you’d have to use them as DNS at least in order to use this feature. I use Cloudflare tunnels and access to facilitate remote access to my home-server, and I know I have this same rule in place.
