If you are the only one using your services, sure but that's way more of a PITA than 99% of users are going to put up with. Running a federated service is no different than running any other service - harden your network, use tunneling if you so desire (though if hosting media, the likes of Cloudflare are out of the question), have your local VLANs configured accordingly, and manage it like you would any other service. Hell, if you are super paranoid, go dual WAN as that's likely cheaper than having a multiple VPS for your services or paying for the needed bandwidth on one (again, assuming media hosting)
