I'm currently setting up my first home lab and I wonder which is the
best solution for remotely connecting to it.
I have a fritzbox 7590 modem/router, a synology NAS and 2 PCs in my
local network. I'd like to access files in NAS and even use PCs via
rdp remotely.
AFAIK, the simplest solutions are:
1. use the implementation onf wireguard in the fritzbox

Box-7590/3685_Setting-up-a-WireGuard-VPN-to-the-FRITZ-Box-on-the-
computer/
2. use the tailscale package in my synology NAS

Which is the safest solution? What are PROs and CONs of each one? Do
you have other solutions?

Thanks

1. Only works if you can port forward.
2. Works regardless of 1. but relies on a third party

Fritz can do that, will run fine - if you have a proper ipv4.
Saving another provider in Tailscale.

Source: had both running, kept Tailscale because got ds-lite and a
shared ip4 which made some access problems

Safest is WireGuard as you're not ceding any control to a 3rd party.

Main benefit of TS is it'll work behind CGNAT or in other scenarios in
which you can't hit your WG server easily.
