Best way to simply allow remote access to TVH web interface?

A TCP/IP networking newbie question... I'd like to be able to access the web interface of TVH, running on a RPi3 with LIbreELEC, from the outside internet. The Pi has a reserved DHCP address in the 10.1.1.x range, and it and some other Windows PC's are on a network behind a router. My ISP won't give me a static IP address (I'd have to join a more expensive plan) and I don't need a full VPN server to access the rest of the network. I would create a locked down user in TVH that restricts access to the TV guide and little else. What are my options?

You would use a port forwarding rule on your router. Also, look into dynamic DNS service to get around your dynamic IP problem

Then cross fingers and hope there are no undiscovered vulnerabilities in the TVH webserver that has been exposed to the Internet. I'd advocate using a private VPN to securely access the home network, then navigate (as normal) to the TVH device.
