I'm not sure what you are using your RPi for, but I'm using mine as a NAS/Web server.  I currently can tunnel into the RPi using a BASH script I have on my laptop.  This attaches a directory to my home directory that allows for simple file transfer.  The script also rsync a directory that I like to have backed up onto RPi.  It acts like my own 'clowd' server for my stuff.  Here's the script on my laptop:

#!/bin/bash
skip=1
#set address to you're network's address
address="XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX"
port=21
while getops :sh option; do
  case $option in
    h) echo "usage: pitun [-s]";
       exit;;
    s) skip=0;;
    ?) echo "Error: option -$OPTARG is not supported";
       exit;;
  esac
done
if [ $skip -eq 1 ]
then
  rsync -ave "ssh -p$port" ~/Backup/ pi@$address:/home/pi/Backup
  echo
if
mkdir ~/pi
sshfs pi$address:/home/pi ~/pi -p$port
ssh -L 8080:127.0.0.1:80 -L 8888:192.168.1.3:80 pi@$address -p$port
fusermount --umount ~/pi
rmdir ~/pi


Once I use that script on my laptop, I have an open SSH connection to it if I want to run any commands on the pi itself.  I also have port forwarding so I can access the pi's web server by entering 127.0.0.1:8080 into my laptop's webrouser.  This eliminates opening up additional ports in my router's firewall.

On the RPi it's self, I have two identical HDD running in RAID 0 via two identical USB to SATA addapters.  This provides data redundancy in case one drive fails (which I have had and this saved my data).

As far as websites/data on the Pi, it's mainly my photo gallery.  I've got 36k photos I've taken over the years.  The Backup directory on my laptop has anything I want to by automatically sync'd to the RPi with is typically some work stuff.

Using Termux on my phone/tablets I can run a very similar script and have the same funtionallity on my devices.
