Simple VPN connection Firewalla?

I may be missing something here... but I don't see any options for setting up a simple VPN from my PC/Mac device (outside of my home network) into my Firewalla Purple.   I assumed the Firewalla Purple could function as a VPN server, but it looks like it only does site to site VPNs  or connects outbound to a 3rd party VPN provider.   

Is there an option for it to act as an VPN server that will allow incoming client connections from the Internet?

Thanks,

  I think I found the solution by just enabling the Wireguard VPN server on the Purple.  I downloaded Wireguard client for my Mac on an outside network and imported the Tunnel file.  But when I try connecting I keep getting a "DNS Resolution Failure" message.  However, I can resolve the endpoint fine from my Mac.  It gets the proper IP of the Dynamic DNS address Firewalla created for the VPN server.   

  Any ideas what may be happening?

  You can use the WireGuard server or OpenVPN. 

  The end point matches the DDNS in Firewalla? 

  Are you running dual WAN?
