I use remote desktop, which is all you need if you are within your home network. You have to configure the computer running SC to allow remote desktop connections.

Regarding the VPN, that does get a little more complicated. Depending upon which router you're using, it may have a VPN built in. Some do have a VPN but don't make it easy to configure. I run a router that is essentially a computer that runs FriendlyWRT, which has a plug-in to run a Wireguard VPN. I strongly recommend Wireguard since it's probably the fastest VPN available.

I've also used OpenVPN. Both of these require additional software on the computer you're connecting with. Both are open source and available for phones, tablets and computers.

I have AT&T fiber, which probably helps with my latency as well, but they also require the use of their router, so I had to forward the wire guard ports to access my internal router.

You could probably also port forward the remote desktop ports on your router directly to your machine running SC. I'm a little less comfortable with that, since I believe there has been RDP exploits and that has the potential to expose your computer on the internet.

I also have a domain that points to my public facing IP address, so I can use that to connect.
