  1. It depends on your budget and needs - I would personally go for a RB5009 but a hEX would also do a great job

  2. Definitely yes

  1. Why don’t you use Wireguard? It’s much easier to set up

A public IP is a premise for every VPN server. However, if not acquirable and the setup is home/SOHO, there is this thing called BTH (Back To Home), which is basically Wireguard + Mikrotik relay server for public IP and hole punching if behind CGNAT.
