I VPN to my pfsense firewall and there are a bunch of guides about how to set up OpenVPN or WireGuard for pfsense. Ultimately, it's going to be dependent on the configuration of your home network - you can set up a VPN tunnel to your router if it supports that feature, or you can use an always-on device on your network to serve as a VPN server. Happy to give tips to point you in the right direction, depending on what hardware you're running!

Thanks. I run a mini pc (Asus PN40) at home running Jellyfin and a bunch of other services. I used to connect to it remotely using Wireguard and Tailscale but the Wireguard protocol (and virtually all vpn protocols) have been blocked where I live. As a result, I have to resort to using DDNS and port-forwarding on my main router, which feels like a step back.
