So basically, I will be away from home for several weeks. Unfortunately, this became the perfect time for our home router to start acting out and factory resetting itself. We are awaiting a new router for replacement, but the time is tight.

My stuff is ethernetted in, so that connectivity isn’t an issue - the issue is that I couldn’t actually connect to the router to restore services even if it had internet by fixing all the settings including port forwarding.

What I would like would be the ability to have a VPN perhaps connected to my homelab, so I can hop on the router and restore the settings if this issue happens while I’m away. Any ideas?
