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?

They removed almost every basic networking feature with a firmware update. Even in "expert mode", all I can do is set up the wifi and pick a single /24 network from 192.168.0.0/16. I can't even pick a goddamn DNS server. Unfortunately the other ISPs that serve my area are at least twice as expensive.

    Wow. An ISP going down the route of enshittification by taking away networking basics is not something that i would have expected years ago, but nowadays i am only sad about it.

    My ISP wants me to swap out my modem, but as long as it works i won't do so - i fear they might take away my (officially dynamic, but only changing once in a blue moon) IPv4 address and stick me back behind the awful CGNAT they have as they did once without asking years ago.
