Please have patience, I haven’t routed stuff in years. I used to do this stuff for a living but due to declining health I can barely even concentrate.
I need to connect two home networks over an open vpn tunnel and I don’t know what to buy, install, etc.
My understanding is I can put a mikrotik in each house behind the cable modem. I need something with a few hard ports that can also handle the WiFi and maybe the same device can do vpn?. I will have to use dynamic dns. One user needs to connect to a hard port to tunnel out with a company router for work, which is separate from the point to point tunnel I would like to keep open between homes.
Can anyone suggest where to start? What devices can I buy that are inexpensive that can manage the tunnel? What do I need to load on the devices? What do I do about the cable company’s address scheme for the home network which can’t be changed? (Breaks the DVrs). I have never configured one of these and have always used out of the box WiFi router firewalls etc, how do I make sure my device is configured properly and locked down from the internet and intruders correctly? What is the minimum amount of bandwidth I’d need to support the tunnel? Etc
I apologize if my questions are too rudimentary for the forum? I’m wondering if I can hire someone on one of these task websites to set this up for me. Please talk to me like I don’t know anything bc I don’t know anything.
Thanks in advance.
