Why not just run Wireguard on a raspberry pi, set up DDNS to send your home IP to a Dynamic DNS provider (if you're on a dynamic IP), and then SSH to your machines at home using keys (instead of passwords)?
Setting up a Pi and running the Wireguard install script is about half an hour of work.
If you're using ddns why do you need WireGuard at all?
I use a similar setup. The VPN is needed because it is the only port accessible outside my network. Wireguard is easy to setup right, and I already need it for accessing other stuff on my home network.
Wireguard needs an endpoint
If I understand GP correctly, the goal is to SSH into an RPi on a home network. Since they mention DDNS, it's implied that they're connecting directly to their home router. What I'm saying is why not port forward directly to the RPi?
