Solutions for remote access? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've been setting up a music server on my home server recently, looking to move away from private hosting options like iBroadcast, but I've hit a bit of a snag when it comes to actually accessing my server when away from home.

The two most common recommendations I've seen are Cloudflare and OpenVPN. My router supports OVPN access, so I gave that a try, but couldn't ever actually make it work. I don't know for sure, but I think it's probably something with my ISP that I can't really easily work around. As far as Cloudflare goes, setting up a tunnel requires you to have a domain set up with them even if you're just using Warp, and since I don't have one, that's not an option.

What other good options are there for remote access? I'm running Open Media Vault as my server. Thanks.

Edit: Based on responses, it looks like Tailscale is the way to go since it's all private to me. Thanks everyone!

I have been thinking of this myself. I think what ill do eventually is dmz a headscale coordinator instance on an old raspi and then make that internet facing for my tailscale instances. But before running my own coordinator want to do is go over some NIST guidelines first to harden the raspi. I think starting with what you want to achive and build a threat model helps narrow options of implementation and cuts the noise.
