No VPN?
Router is a new RS100. I've been all over the Advanced set up page and cannot find where to set up a VPN. I'm just starting to dabble into this and would like the router for my VPN, for now. Any idea...
Actually, I'm well versed in Teamviewer. I've used it for quite a few years. What I ultimately wanted to do is handled by it. I have a Plex server and wanted to watch movies while away from home BUT not pay for the Plex, since they updated this feature to paid.
I'm not 100% sure how well it would work just yet. Never used Teamviewer for this, just RDP to fix issues on friends PC's. I'll report back with my findings if anyone is interested.

Ok, so you want remote access for video (and perhaps music) playback.
Teamviewer and similar screen sharing (rdp, google desktop, etc) are not good options. Generally they don't offer high enough frame rates for smooth playback. Also they are focused on PCs, and not phones. You'd also lose plex transcoding on lower bandwidth connections.
ZeroTier and Tailscale are both worth exploring. Both would be free if you can stay under their device limits for free accounts. Both can be installed on your plex server.
I'd start with Tailscale (I believe it is simpler to set up).
