How to share services with non-techincal friends and family (self.selfhosted)

I have a Jellyfin server, NextCloud instance, etc that I share with friends and family. Currently, I serve them over the open-internet using Cloudflare tunnels. Obviously this has some security implications that I don't love. Also recently one of my domains got flagged as malicious by google and now Chrome browsers won't go to the site - annoying.

I use Tailscale already to access my server infra remotely, but honestly I don't see this as a viable option for my non-technical friends and family. Plus, I need to support all kinds of devices like smart tvs. How do you fine folks deal with this issue?

The Google warning page isn't from a scan. I've seen it show up when visiting an entirely internal site in Chrome. It's not exposed to the Internet, and the domain name doesn't even exist in public DNS.
