Hey, you're doing a great job setting up your network! To protect your access points beyond just web traffic, you can use additional security tools. Since you already have Nginx Proxy Manager with Cloudflare hiding your public IP, consider adding a firewall solution like Fail2Ban or a dedicated reverse proxy for services such as RDP and SSH. This way, even if your main IP leaks, the other services remain secure. Just make sure to configure proper access controls and monitoring for each service.
It's nearly unfeasible. Anyone can join a multiplayer game with you, press alt tab, and retrieve active connections along with their IP addresses and ports. The only way to conceal your IP would be to route all your traffic through another server, which would introduce extra latency and expenses.
You can't secure your front door by removing your house numbers; anyone passing by can simply approach and test the doorknob. These services need strong protection, not open exposure to the internet. A VPN should be used to securely reconnect and reach them from the outside.
