I currently have a server running Unraid as the OS, which has some WireGuard integration built in. Which I’ve enabled and been using to remotely access services hosted on that server. But as I’ve expanded to include things like Octopi running on a Pi3 and NextcloudPi running on a Pi4 (along with AdGuardHome), I’m trying to determine the best way to VPN to my home network with the goal of reaching services I’m hosting, and do it safely of course.
I have a Netgear Nighthawk that has some VPN functionality built in that uses a OpenVPN account. Is that ok or would it be advisable to come in a different way?

Plug your pies into wireguard. Problem solved.
I think openvpn works completely fine for most use cases and didn’t have any trouble with it at all. I did however switch to wireguard on my gateway and I get a little better throughput compared to openvpn. That being said, I’m also using a pfsense box as my home gateway, so access to internal services has been easy as general routing gets.
Adding a wireguard system that has iptables adjuated to include forwarding and masquerading will allow your single wireguard connection to see the rest of your LAN https://www.stavros.io/posts/how-to-configure-wireguard/
