The solution I have been using to work at home is a Mac App called VPN Tracer 365, but it is not so great on speed for intensive data access, so I also use the built-in screen sharing in the Mac OS to connect to desktops, and our headless server machine - any machine that allows it. There are some issues as far as keyboard functioning and readability, which is why I prefer developing with my own 4D client running on a VPN. I have also had good success with the built-in VPN, but depending on your connection, it doesn't work well for everybody.
We are in a county in California that has instituted official emergency COVID-19 regulation to shelter in place and had to shut down the office location. Everyone was sent home with their iMacs preset to do the OS VPN, and only about a third to a half of them had the proper stability and bandwidth, or who knows?, to connect reliably from home. The rest brought back the iMacs to the office and are running Google Remote Desktop from their browsers at home - and it is very successful for them, so that is definitely something to look into.
