Domain VS IP access

I've had to put a few services over a domain for myself, and was able
to restrict the subdomains to where only I can access those particular
URLs.

My question is, what route do I take for restricting those subdomains
being inaccessible via IP address. Would this be something at the OS
level? Or can it be done via services such as Nginx.

It it were just via a local network, I could kill ALL access, but I
need some to be open to the public. But they're secure in regards to
authentication / FIDO 2 / passkeys.

But I'd still like to make the IP address completely inaccessible to
any outsiders

Reverse proxy is for that.

You can also.use zero trust from cloudflare with does this automaticly
with proxy - it also hides you IP in general for all domanins.

Thanks, I'll look into reverse proxy for Docker / Nginx. I have a few
self-hosted projects currently running on Caddy 2, but that's only
because the documentation for the software included instructions, and
I figured it would be nice to have.

But I've never really dived deep into how exactly reverse proxy works.
Think it's time to pull out some google searches.

I have Cloudflare, but I haven't looked into Zero Trust yet.
