I currently run OpenVPN on a $5 raspberry pi. Powered off the computer's USB port. Works great. Haven't given Tinc or Wireguard a try but will experiment. I see a lot of suggestions for ssh. It's best to use a VPN.
All incoming tcp traffic is blocked to my VPN, it doesn't respond to ICMP. Pretty much looks like a dead host unless you know there's a VPN. To connect, you need both the key and password. So it's quite secure. I can then ssh to my internal network. Nice way to access my home network without exposing it directly to the net.
Do you have good config files for this? I've tried all the prebuilt stuff and I have serious issues with it. Would love to have a cheap VPN termination point at my office and at home.
