VPN connection between two TP-LINK routers MR200 and Archer C7

Hi,
In home I have fiber internet access with static IP address and TP-LINK Archer C7 router.
At summer house I have only 3G/4G network so I buy TP-Link MR200 and add inside SIM card.
So that location I don't have static IP address so I configure NOIP DDNS service which works correctly.
At both location internet works normally but now I would want to establish some kind VPN connection between those two routers/sites.
As I check in TP-LINK Archer C7 router have options to establish OpenVPN or PPTP VPN connection and
TP-LINK MR200 have options to establish OpenVPN, PPTP VPN or IPSec VPN connection.
So what kind of VPN connection you suggest me to create and where to get detailed information with steps how to configure such VPN connection?

A little note from my side.
Before you are going to spend a lot of effort into this I recommend you verify the IP address that is assigned to the MR200 by your cellular provider is indeed a public IPv4 address.
For example, in the picture below the Internet IPv4 address (red border) is a private IP address, which is not directly reachable by another device on the Internet.
This has caught out many users recently, as very few cellular providers still assign public IPv4 addresses.
private IP address ranges are:
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
100.64.0.0 - 100.127.255.255
