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 use wireguard. One network is behind cgnat so i just get that client to connect outbound to the other client to initiate the tunnel (instead of trying to connect to IT) and it works just fine.

I did try tailscale once upon a time but it was so clunky and confusing for me...i just wanted to simply access my entire networks remotely without any overhead

Is that something that has to be done on every connection?
