How to I change the URL to access sonarr/radarr
Right now I access sonar with localip:portnumber and I have port forwarding set up on my router.
But I want to be able to say something like Andrew.com/sonarr and Andrew.com/Radarr etc. How do I create a URL? Any free services? Or reverse proxy? I’m new at this stuff.

Here's a good guide (assuming you have linux) https://www.htpcguides.com/configure-radarr-reverse-proxy-nginx-linux/
Basically:
Step 1: get a URL. you can either buy one or get a free one
Step 2: Installed a webserver.
Step 3. Point your URL to that Webserver.
Step 4: Configure sonarr/radarr to use that webserver.
*if you run windows, check that link there's a windows version of the setup.
Purchase a domain, can be as little as a dollar a month for lesser know domains like .xyz or up to $10 a month or so for .com and it varies inbetween. Then set up the reverse proxy for it. Chances are andrew.com is taken though. Might want to go with something like andrewsmedia.com or something.
Rather than buying a domain, and because you are likely on a dynamic IP with your ISP, it would be best to get a free dyndns kind of thing. duckdns.org will give you a name.duckdns.org address with several options on how to update the IP address if your home IP changes.
Set that up, get nginx set up doing the reverse proxy with the link u/Chefitutide gave.
You then need to set the base url in the radarr/sonarr settings to be /radarr and /sonarr or what ever you want.
For added security, I would also suggest using letsencrypt to generate an ssl certificate for your nginx server, never used this cause I dont have a mac but this would help https://certbot.eff.org/lets-encrypt/osx-nginx.html
