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?

    Any reason the VPN can’t stay as-is? Unless you don’t want it on the unraid box at all anymore. But going to unraid over VPN then out the rest of the network from there is a perfectly valid use case.

      This is how I use it and it’s been rock solid for ages! Can even pass pihole through it so you get no ads when out and about.
