You could, should, consider Wireguard. - It's faster (less overhead) than OpenVPN - Config requirements are similar to SSH, rather than OpenVPN - Easier to add/drop clients than OpenVPN - Available for all the OSs you mention, and will be in-kernel in the next major revisions You can use any of the remote desktop protocols over the pseudo-ethernet interface that Wireguard creates. X11, VNC, Spice, RDP... xserver-xspice might be the right choice here. Debian and Ubuntu have virt-viewer clients for spice, Windows and other OS have clients here: https://www.spice-space.org/download.html -dsr-
