Route traffic through VPS and then home network

mc8569

I am trying to route my internet traffic through my home IP address while traveling. Because I am not given a public IP address from my ISP, I understand some of the difficulties behind getting this to work. Can someone point me in the right direction (where to search and what to search for)?

I have already tried setting up OpenVPN through my router which is flashed with custom firmware. I couldn't get it to work for the reason I mentioned.

Subsequent research showed that it might be possible to do it with a VPS or with DyanmicDNS. Will either of these methods work for my situation?

Thank you.

There may be other solutions (though I doubt it). If you do not have a public IP address at home then ask your ISP for instruction. If they cannot help then you will probably need a VPS with a public IP.

Then follow the HOWTO:

As the server is a VPS you need to use the right iptables rule (Use the correct VPN subnet 10.*):

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.8.0.0/24 -j SNAT --to-source 12.34.56.78   # <-- Use your OpenVPN server's real external IP here
