I believe they mean setting up a VPN on your network, rather than buying a service from a VPN provider.

Something like Wireguard lets you configure individual devices to access your network remotely.

Yup, I did that last week and it's pretty easy. Basically:

Set up a VPS and configure wireguard
Set up your computer to connect to it (or your router if you literally only want remote admin); you'll probably want to configure persistent connections
Set up your phone to connect to it
Test it at work sometime to make sure it all works

I do it in two hops: connect to VPS then to internal computer. There are other configurations (e.g. talk to peer computers directly), but this works well for me.
