Setup
Setting up a VPN-server is notoriously hard, so there are some scripts like openvpn-install and pivpn to help you out.
To be able to connect to the VPN remotely, you need:
- assign a static IP to your VPN-server
- setup an account with a dynamic DNS provider (e.g. https://www.duckdns.org/)
- open a port in your router and forward it to your VPN-server.

If you need a simple VPN out of the box you could also try https://qbee.io. This also works through any firewall and you do not need a dynamic DNS. In addition, you can do much of the configuration with it. 2 devices are free, so it might work for many projects. Testing can be done virtually in docker: https://qbee.io/product/test-qbee-without-hardware/ - disclaimer: I am one of the founders, so please remove comment if not appropriate.
