You can use a self-host app like Pritunl[1] to host a private vpn server and put all the other self-host instances behind this vpn.

Hackers wont even know if your self-host server exists. I self-host Bitwarden and that's how I am able to sleep at nights.

What if your self-hosted app must be accessible on the web? (eg. a blog or analytics platform)

Would all that traffic still have to go through the VPN tunnel?

No, only the traffic of the self-host server you whitelist on Pritunl using the self-host server IP goes through VPN. Rest of the internet traffic works as usual.
