It depends on what you want to access.

There’s port forwarding (access port(s)), reverse proxy (access a website) and vpn (full access) to reach internal devices.

Hi @mrmarkuz

I need to use a printer for print and for the moment anything else, so i thinking port forwarding is the better way in this case…
I don’t know which ports i need to open maybe i can use tcpdump to see it and open only i needed, otherwise i open all ports 1:65535

Don’t even think about opening the printer ports to the outside. In this case, it is better to use a VPN.

Good decision!

Which printer do you use? Which OS do you use on the laptop?
Can you ping the printer by name/ip from the laptop when connected to openvpn?
