For example, I prefer to use a VPN instead of port forwarding. And I use SSH for anything I used to use an FTP for.

IP whitelisting

How do you do that? I understand how blocklisting would work but how does whitelisting work in practice? How can you know in advance from which IPs you will connect to your home network in the future? That just seems like a recipe for getting stranded in some hotel without a way into your network.

You could host a proxy on a vps, somewhere, and use that vps ip address for the whitelisting. At this point setting up a VPN sounds more convenient though
