I chose wireguard implemented by pivpn (i like pi’s)
Wireguard app on phone and a quick duckduck will find you a script or app for your laptop. Connected to your home in seconds.

PiVPN is elegant. Easy install, and I am impressed with the ascii QR code it generates.
But I could not make it work. I am guessing that my Android setup is faulty, orrrr maybe something with the Pi? This is incredibly difficult to troubleshoot.

As a side note i had to portforward in my router to make this work.

Obviously :) and make sure to forward to the correct LAN IP address, and make sure that machine has a static IP (or DHCP reservation).
