I have several selfhosted services that I have been using for months, now I wish to access these while I am not at home. Likes of nextcloud, nocodb, wikijs and other media sharing self-hosted services

I would like to know what precautions should I take so no one knows that such a domain exists.

should I purchase a crazy numbered domain like 671341412312.com ? or should I go for .tk domains.

Would like to get some suggestions from this community on other aspects that I am missing.

    Couldn’t you just get a regular domain and use a firewall to prevent access, so only your IP address(s) are able to access it.

    I’m currently doing this myself, however I have a VPN on my local network that allows me access to my self-hosted service remotely as if I was at home.

    There are other things you can do with cloudflare that will lock the sites down with authentication, but VPN and firewall have worked pretty well for my use cases.
