Hi, everyone,
This idea/question came to me while watching the video from RadioGeek entitled "Aredn VPN" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUbXRKpNo_w&ab_channel=RadioGeek I understand that we create tunnels from node to node. My question is, could I set up a client that's on a computer and use VPN software to access the tunnel? Or would the computer have to be plugged into an Internet-facing node at all times? In theory, if the tunnel software is just something like OpenVPN, you should be able to create a tunnel from a computer or other device to the node.
Something like this: Assuming the computers' name is W0PCD-Desktop running Windows 10 (or Ubuntu Linux), and the server is hosted at w0pcd.duckdns.org.
On the server, set up a client W0PCD-Desktop with a password of mypassword and give it whatever network it gets assigned to. Enable and save changes.
On the computer, create a VPN connection, either using builtin VPN software or some type of VPN client software. Server name: w0pcd.duckdns.org password mypassword network whatever network it was assigned.
Would this work or am I just chasing windmills with my old friend Don Quixote?
Have a great day. :)
Patrick.
