Connecting to a home network from a distance
You can connect your home network remotely by setting up port forwarding on your router. This allows your computer and router to be accessed from another device over the internet. No fancy equipment needed—just follow your router’s instructions for configuring remote access.
Issues tend to occur more frequently and involve significant security risks. Setting up your router this way online is generally not advisable due to numerous vulnerabilities that could allow unauthorized access. Another concern is the use of IP addresses—do you have a fixed IP?
You can configure an openVPN server. Without the necessary hardware, you might opt for a VPS service. There are many guides available on this topic. For instance, a tutorial on setting up a VPS with CentOS 6 is found here: https://www.bestvpn.com/roll-openvpn-ser...-centos-6/
