I currently have a server running Unraid as the OS, which has some WireGuard integration built in. Which I've enabled and been using to remotely access services hosted on that server. But as I've expanded to include things like Octopi running on a Pi3 and NextcloudPi running on a Pi4 (along with AdGuardHome), I'm trying to determine the best way to VPN to my home network with the goal of reaching services I'm hosting, and do it safely of course.

I have a Netgear Nighthawk that has some VPN functionality built in that uses a OpenVPN account. Is that ok or would it be advisable to come in a different way?

I run a wireguard vpn into my home, and i can access my local services. It was a small matter of setting up routing properly.

I am using https://www.firezone.dev/ to set it up and manage it, but i believe it can be done manually if desired.

I can recommend firezone as well. Served me well before I decided to host my wireguard server on OPNsense.

I still miss the super easy client setup from firezone! OPNsense really needs to make it easier.
