Help me get started with VPN (lemmy.world)

TLDR: VPN-newbie wants to learn how to set up and use VPN.

What I have:

Currently, many of my selfhosted services are publicly available via my domain name. I am aware that it is safer to keep things closed, and use VPN to access -- but I don't know how that works.

domain name mapped via Cloudflare > static WAN IP > ISP modem > Ubiquity USG3 gateway > Linux server and Raspberry Pi.
80,443 fowarded to Nginx Proxy Manager; everything else closed.
Linux server running Docker and several containers: NPM, Portainer, Paperless, Gitea, Mattermost, Immich, etc.
Raspberry Pi running Pi-hole as DNS server for LAN clients.
Synology NAS as network storage.

What I want:

access services from WAN via Android phone.
access services from WAN via laptop.
maybe still keep some things public?
noob-friendly solution: needs to be easy to "grok" and easy to maintain when services change.

Then I don't know, I've set up several Wireguard VPNs on several Fritzboxes and everything works fine.
