Yes! Tailscale is incredibly useful and a great way to access your devices. For public linking, if you don't want any open ports, you can use Cloudflare Tunnel. Note that in this case, for your own use, you should still be accessing Nextcloud via Tailscale, as its P2P, so it'll be substantially faster than routing via a CF datacenter.

'can use Cloudflare Tunnel.' - Most secure way to run Nextcloud?

since cloudflare posted they are going to spy on things they connect to and send info to men with guns about what they see, [1] I would not put them in a list of 'most secure' anything.

[1] along with helping govt's create legislature to encourage and allow more of the same... https://blog.cloudflare.com/terminating-service-for-8chan/

its a longish ramble - but you can ctrl-f "us cooperating around monitoring potential hate sites on our network and notifying law enforcement"

zerotier[0] is also a surprisingly great alternative to tailscale. stable as hell, adding devices is fast and easy, and their web panel is real-time and user-friendly as hell. cloudflare tunnel is a mess to set up unfortunately.
