New to hosting, looking for some tips (alien.top)

I recently set up a server for plex to share with a couple friends, which is easy enough to do.

I more recently got a domain from cloudflare with the intention of hosting game servers with AMP and add Ombi for requests.

Now, I do trust a couple friends to give my ip to, but if they were to want someone else to join id rather not be using my ip.

I was attempting to set up cloudflare until I saw they don't support tcp/udp on the free tier.

I'm just looking for some tips about the best way to set everything up without exposing a bunch of ports for everything

There’s nothing really private about your ip. Whatever you need to do to secure your network you have to do in any solution for this problem.

I suppose that that's what I'm really after. It would be nice to be able to just give out a domain name or something easier to remember for people besides an IP, but I guess it isn't 100% necessary
