Probably a good ideal to set up Cloudflare for the firewall and DDOS security functionality (free). Cloudflare will handle a lot of the security for you, and they are pretty easy to manage there. You can set up geoblock, URI whitelist/blacklists, UserAgent filters and the like. If you are using dockers/jails for your Plex/Sonarr/Radarr, it's a good idea to set your fail2ban/nginx configuration to block out repeated failed login requests, known SQL/PHP injection attacks, close all your ports and try to have a single nginx instance and different URI paths instead for externally accessible stuff, disable old SSL versions, use strict transport security, create a content security policy, etc. Had to secure my Plex/Ombi/Radarr/Sonarr cuz of a lot of Russian brute force attempts.
