Access local cockpit instance without port forwarding - eviltoast

Hi, I’ve recently built myself my first server to host a minecraft server. I manage this server through cockpit, which isn’t port forwarded.

Now I’m going to move to a different place, but I want to keep that server at this house because of more stable internet and me moving to a smaller space, but I don’t know how I could access this server remotely.

I’ve already tried adding a vpn to my router, but when connected, I still can’t access my cockpit dashboard. Am I doing anything wrong or do I need to port forward to access my cockpit instance remotely?

    Thank you for the info! I’ll take a look at tailscale and try to wrap my head around the wireguard thing. Thanks for the help!
