If you have a VPN router, your router literally has remote access built in as a feature. The VPN can be connected to remotely, and allow you to access locally hosted services. I use mine for such a purpose. When configured correctly, your VPN connection makes your device get treated like it's on the local network.
I had so much trouble setting up the router with vpn that i'd really rather not make big changes...
