You can also use OpenVPN on port 443 as a last resort (only as a last resort since TCP over TCP is a bad idea[1])

Yes, I do that as well, but I think that IPsec is a better backup solution.

In addition, tunneling TCP in TCP to hide OpenVPN behind a HTTP proxy, lest it look out of place and be easily fingerprinted as OpenVPN on packet analysis is why I wanted to avoid it this time around.

Plus, I wanted to better secure my home network AND make it accessible remotely (in a dorm-like accomodation with enterprise-grade NAT with Cisco gear), I thought an IPSec tunnel would be optimal as well.
