What is the safest way for my to enable access to my Raspberry Pi currently sitting on a local network? (alien.top)

Hey folks, I just set up a Raspberry Pi home server with a bunch of containerised apps (FreshRSS, Firefly III, etc.). I'm now looking at some options to let me access this Pi from a device outside the network and am a little bit intimidated by all the options that I seem to have.

My requirements are just to be able to access the Pi from my Android phone or Linux laptop and access the FreshRSS service. I'm not looking to stream media over this connection or do anything super data intensive. I don't have a static IP address or a domain name, but I do use a VPN subscription (some guides I read suggested that you could use a VPN to connect externally but haven't looked to deep into this yet).

With this in mind, what would be my best option? Thanks in advance for your help!
