Yep, rather straight-forward. Little bit of iptables forwarding and you're all set:

  echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
  iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o wlan0 -j ACCEPT
  iptables -A FORWARD -i wlan0 -o eth0 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
  iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE
I'd recommend wireguard[0] in preference to openvpn.

May I ask where I might start learning things like this?

The tutorials provided by VPS providers like Digital Ocean are a pretty good way to learn how to setup a VPN or any other common webservice yourself. They have a pretty well maintained library:

etc. I'd also second a recommendation of wireguard over OpenVPN - it's far simpler to configure too.

Stand up a few useful services around the home and harden them. Stuff like Plex/Emby, Paperless-ng, *arr's, etc. Self hosting is addicting and one of the best teachers.
