Hi, looking for some advice to set up a VPN server to get into my home network when traveling.

I have a NAS and an openWRT AP within the network. My router is provided by the ISP and with a built-in VPN. Being a hobbyist in networking, I would like to tab your brains for suggestions and know how:

Should I get my own router to run a wireguard VPN off the router directly, i.e. on the edge of the network, OR run a VPN service off the openWRT AP or the NAS, i.e. from within the home network?

Thanks a lot for your help!

    Oh, I must have completely misunderstood what Pangolin is for. Is Pangolin like a replacement for Cloudflare tunnels in that case?

      Yeah, basically. It does bundle wireguard so that it can reverse proxy services over that. That’s probably what you were thinking of.

        Okay, it’s been a while since I first heard of it. I misremembered. So, it would be cool to have a vps with Headscale and Pangolin.
