As a VPN alternative I recently setup cloudflare tunnel https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/products/tunnel/ https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/products/tunnel/. Rather than connecting to your local network directly you run a Daemon that connects a machine on the local network to cloudflare. You then connect to cloudflare and it routes the traffic to your local network. Very easy to setup and use, tunnel itself is free if you don't need many users. You do need a domain but not a massive cost. Plus no security worries about having an open port visible to the global internet plus no need to worry about the IP for your home network, dynamic DNS CGNat etc. You can run the Daemon on a raspberry pi (personally I'm using the docker container on a Synology NAS)
