Usually the fun in a homelab is starting with a problem you want to solve like moving away from cloud subscriptions via NAS, more capable home networking, home automation, etc. What’s a service your devices could benefit from having access to? Do you have any media you want to access remotely or share with friends?

Are there any recommendations for home VPN networks so I connect to my home network abroad? For totally legal and normal things, of course 😉

Tailscale offers this out of the box with exit nodes!

I would say Wireguard is the gold standard for most consumer VPNs. It’s a FOSS and modern improvement over OpenVPN. It can be a bit of a hassle to manually configure so most people opt to use Tailscale, which is Wireguard with very light overhead atop it in exchange for very convenient installations. Easiest setup to get full access to your home network is run a Wireguard or Tailscale server directly on your router. I stopped using my Google Wifi pucks for this very reason since they’re very limited in features, though I imagine some hardware routers have out of the box support for Wireguard or Tailscale. If you wanna go down further a rabbit hole, you can run pfSense or OPNsense on a computer with two Ethernet ports and have that act as your main router + firewall. The OS can even be virtualized; it just needs direct access to the NICs to correctly route traffic. Personally I have a OPNsense VM running on Unraid on my old gaming PC because I’m too paranoid of vendor lock in with Unifi hardware 🥸
