I have 2 PCs (win7pro, win10pro)
PC1 win7 based at home, PC2 win10 laptop around the world
my home internet provider NAT me and does not allow port forwarding on the router
Then I read about openVPN excellent solution for me, to allow keep in touch my home pc when I am travelling
I'd need some support about the config, please correct me when wrong:
1. install openVPN on both PCs
2. on PC1 (home), launch "Generate a static OpenVPN key" and copy this key file (myfile.key) also onto PC2 (laptop)
3. right click on openVPN into system tray and then "Edit config"
4. into this config file insert these statements:
on PC1:
remote PUBLIC_IP_BY_PROVIDER_PC1
ifconfig 10.3.0.1 255.255.255.0
secret myfile.key
on PC2:
remote PUBLIC_IP_BY_PROVIDER_PC2
ifconfig 10.3.0.2 255.255.255.0
secret myfile.key
questions:
- is it alright?
- only these 3 statements on the config file?
- at home I installed dyndns, may I put my dyndns URL instead of PUBLIC_IP_BY_PROVIDER_PC1 (home)?
