Title: Possible use of a VPN tunnel?
Post by: K1IKE-Joe on 2015-06-06, 02:20:00

I have a WiFi guest network available to me at my RemoteRig radio site.  I do not have the ability to get port forwarding set on the guest network router.  Someone thought that I could set up a VPN tunnel from the radio site to the control head location.

Has anybody done this to get around the port forwarding requirements?

I know of several that use VPN's to get around the double-NAT problem of using 3G/4G on
the radio side, which would be the same situation. OpenVPN seems to be the product of choice.

How can you do that? Is there any tutorial? Two PCs are needed?
Thanks

I do not have a tutorial but many routers has built in VPN support so you do not need any PC to create a VPN tunnel. You can set it up between two routers.
