Afaik you'd have to open a port and port forward for that to work, and you'd have to update every time your ip changes, unless you have a domain linked to it. There's lots of other configurations, too: VPN/tailscale or equivalent onto your home network, a vps, reverse proxy, etc. I've yet to decide how to access from outside my home. Still tinkering locally, but mumble would be fun to try one day.
I just use my (static) IP directly with port forwards on my router.
Sure, I get hundreds of login attempts every day, but that's just life on the internet. Just secure your stuff and you're fine.
