Can you clarify what you want to access from outside your lan? Is it just the guacamole server?

Maybe look at MeshCentral it is like TeamViewer just selfhosted and better.
I tried MeshCentral, I couldn't get it to work and didn't like the things it tried to "automate" for me, made it hard to debug. UI looked dated, but I hear grate things. For now, I went w/ RustDesk. Sometimes, when a program is soo hard to configure, I have to use it lol, while RustDesk was hard, I at least was able to get it working.
Well, I ended up w/ using wg-easy to setup a VPN between moms computer and guacamole server. I like this because I can control the VPN on my end easily via the WebUI. So when I want to RDP, I'll enable VPN then use Guac to RDP, but most of the time, no VPN. Also, I now have a VPN. Tried Rustdesk (so promising, so horrible), read on other options, tried MeshCentral again.
Guacamole RDP over HTML is just the bomb as far as the actual user experience once setup. This way, by having VPN, I allow Guacamole to do what its good at and I allow VPN to do what it is good at and don't try and find software thats "all in one"
