truckturner wroteI'm looking to set up an OpenVPN server on a CentOS 5.5 machine I have at home. The purpose is to use it as a way to securely browse the web when I'm out on my laptop. Basically, I'd establish a connection to my server at home when I'm on a public WiFi hotspot and use that to surf the web instead of the coffee shop/book store's service.
Is this possible with OpenVPN? I see that I can use it to establish a connection to my home network from anywhere, but can that same connection also be used for web browsing?
Sure. You can set it so when you are on the wifi, it encrypts and redirects all traffic through the VPN. redirect-gateway does this.
