Integration of Tailscale with Nginx Reverse Proxy

I'm new to setting up a self hosted homelab. I have setup all my
services in containers in Docker on windows 11 Pro. I can access my
server with ease with RDP through Tailscale. Now with NPM, I can
access those services but only when I'm in Tailnet. How can I make it
so that, anyone outside the Tailnet network access those services and
would SSL and windows firewall be enough as a security measure? I'm
guessing not

You would need to open the ports for the reverse proxy for that, if
that is what you want. Look up "port forwarding", it depends on your
router.

Windows 11 is very much not ideal for any of this, but if thats what
you have and want to use, its not impossible.
