Open Source Secure Remote Access Solutions?

I am posting this in response to this comment:

I exhausted myself investigating remote access tools quite a few years ago. Teamviewer - privacy nightmare. AnyDesk seemed similar.
I tried TigerVNC (again, years ago) which was horrible, worked kind of, but buggy and just a headache (I am not very technically skilled).

I gave up as everything that worked well was a privacy horror show/risk, and anything that didn’t give me chills was just buggy or too difficult.

I am looking at ways to access a MAC from Fedora, only via the LAN (as the Mac has WAN access disabled, as it runs iVMS-4200 CCTV software (CCP spyware some might say)).

Any suggestions appreciated. GUI only, the more user-friendly the better!
Thanks
