How do you access it away from home. I'm able to access my NAS since Synology gives us a domain to use and we do everything using port forwarding. I would assume that if you set everything up by yourself, you would need to get your own domain and ssl certificates and everything?
I setup my own VPN using this on a raspberry pi. Using the ikev2. I like DietPi for the OS.

I have a domain name on cloudflare DNS, Let's Encrypt certificates that auto renew and an Nginx reverse proxy pointing at the services I host. Port forwarding through the opnsense router for https.
It's been a journey setting it up, but its basically been unchanged for about 5 years now and works well. If I need to I can VPN in too.
