the Raspberry Pi2 (over the VPN) and local internet browsing traffic continues to route through the BT HomeHub (the default gateway) to maintain a fast web browsing experience! The plan is to set this up at my mums house so that when it’s connected she can access my home network and vice-versa (a site-to-site VPN) this will enable her to then access my file servers, store all her photos and ensure that they are aways backed up to the cloud (my home file storage server runs FreeNAS using the ZFS file system and automatically backs up to a cloud storage service daily).Ī couple of considerations here, firstly my mum’s home router is a BT HomeHub and not something you can set static routes on (these kind of features normally only come with commercial grade routers), therefore I will instead install a DHCP server on the Raspberry Pi2 in addition to the OpenVPN client to enable the publishing of static routes to the clients on her local network, the set-up will ensure that only local network traffic bound for the server network is routed via. To give you some background of what I’m doing, I’m going to use my existing OpenVPN server setup as per my last couple of posts ( here and here) but I now want to setup a Raspberry Pi2 (running Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS) as a router given that it consumes a low amount of power and small in size.
Install openvpn access server ubuntu how to#
In my last couple of blog posts ( here and here) I demonstrated how to setup an OpenVPN server using Windows Server 2012 R2 and enable IP forwarding to enable OpenVPN client roaming access to the server network today I will explain how to setup a Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS based server which we will ultimately use as a site-site client router.
