Remote connection over internet? (aussie.zone)

I'm going to be away from home for a few weeks and would like to access my computer (LMDE) while I'm away. Remote desktop connection would be ideal, just file transfer would be acceptable.

Is a VPN necessary, or can port forwarding be good enough for a one time use?

What software/networking recommendations do you have?

I just use wireguard. Easy to set up, especially with something like wg-easy

I used wg-easy myself as I wanted a basic admin interface to manage profiles: https://wg-easy.github.io/wg-easy/latest/getting-started/ (seems down at the moment)
