Hello I’m new here and happy for the opportunity to learn something new,
I’m thinking about deploying an OpenVPN Server on an VServer hosted in an external Datacenter.
My Plan is to use this OpenVPN Server for an Site-to-site Connection between the Server and my home network.
My goal is that when I’m using the vpn that it looks to like for me that I’m at home, so I want to use dns names from my home network and other services like file shares. How can I achieve this goal? I know the basic configuration of the vpn Server that I can connect to it and use his ip to browse the Internet with it. How I configure the server that I get as the internal ip of the server one of my dhcp of my home network, or should I use Routing Rules for it but then I think I can’t use home network dns server.
To summarize it’s important for me that I can use the dns server of my home network for internal domains, but at least I want to connect to the internal services via in the best way the internal ips of my home network, if this doesn’t work it would also ok to connect via a different ip. I’m thinking of that because I use some websites in my home network which uses SSL certificates and an internal domain, nothing is connected to the internet and I don’t want to because of security reasons. For that I want to use the VPN connection, the reason why I wanna use an eternal vpn is that I have an ipv6 DSLite Connection Form my ISP so i cant host proper server on it.
If anyone can help me with my plan of the site-to-site vpn, I would be great to hear from you.
