I use "fremdulo" for foreigner only, not for stranger. For stranger, I use "nekonatulo".
"eksterulo" would be a different meaning, an "outsider". You could be an eksterulo if you are not a member of a certain organization, for example; a company might say in its privacy information that "eksteruloj" do not have access to their database (that is, people outside the company).
Alilandano is fine but a little unwieldy. I don't see "fremdulo" as being insulting or loaded but if someone saw it that way, they would be understood perfectly using "alilandano". I certainly consider myself a "fremdulo" anywhere outside the US, and I'd have no problem calling myself that.
