I have a VPN server in my router so that I can access my home network remotely. I was thinking about trying to setup a CoreElec box with a vpn client so that I could access my samba shares / media when I am traveling.
Every guide I have been seen focuses upon using a VPN client to connect to a 3rd party commercial VPN provider.
In theory I would expect that I could use a VPN client in CoreElec to access my home network via samba while away.
I was hoping someone could confirm that the setup I want to build will work.
Any tips or guides would also appreciated.
Thanks.
Have no doubts, it will work very well, I have been using this for several years.
You will have different alternatives: connect with a single device, with several devices on the home network, go to the internet from the home network, … You will also have to study if you need a DDNS.
