Hello!
I am very new to OpenVPN and may ak very basic questions in some cases, sorry for that!
I am working on an IOT project for my company.
I got devices hooked up to a 4G router (RUT955), of brand Teltonika.
The router is connected to the internet using a SIM card provided by my company IT dpt. This SIM card is using a private APN, and a private dynamic IP address on the mobile WAN.
We have technicians running windows based PC's, who need to remotely connect to devices that are behind the router from any location.
We want the connection to be secured.
The router has an embedded OpenVPN server capability.
Question :
We can't figure out how to set it up so that remote OpenVPN client can reach it out and get access to the devices underneath.
DynDNS does not work with private address ...
Any idea on how we can make that happen ?
We were thinking we could go the oether way around:
=> Setup an OpenVPN server on a machine, havng access to the Internet using a public IP address
=> Setup the router so that it would asct as a Client and connect to the server.
What we can't figure out oin that case is how the technician can access the devices that are behaind the remote router. How can they knock on the server door and ask it to provide them wiht connection to the remote router ?
Any thought / suggestion woudl be welcome !
Regards
