Anyone else have an #Eero #MeshNetwork at home who has set up some sort of #OpenVPN or other #VPN where all of their home network traffic goes through a VPN of some sort? I might be ready to set something like this up.
@pat I don't have this but I've researched it and stop when I realize it involves new firmware on the router to run dd-wrt or another open router firmware that enables VPN tunneling.
I'm not 100% but haven't found a better solution concept.
@pat not quite Eero but I did put a Firewalla in front of my Orbi mesh and I adore it. Prob the best tech purchase I've ever made.
@yonkeltron how did you connect the device to the vpn? I think im struggling with understanding the order of operations of networking routes for this. I work at a cloud hosting company, so the vpn thing is easy peasy for me - I have an OpenVPN I use on my phone and my laptop only sucks that some financial apps get weird about doing some things through it because they know the ip ranges and know it can be used for nefarious reasons.
@pat ok so the Firewalla is the thing between my network and the ISP so that is where the VPN terminates. I use Tailscale to bridge to my home network while away but I have a device group which sends all traffic through the VPN. Useful for certain types of traffic, you feel me?
Some device has to be the endpoint. Honestly you might just be able to quickly set up a proxy on a house server and direct devices to use that.
What's your setup like? Maybe I can make a diagram of mine or something.
@yonkeltron @pat please correct me if I’m wrong, but tailscale will route all the traffic of your network through one node/IP, but won’t handle connection to a VPN. Will it?
Though I guess if that one node is VPN connected the whole time, I just answered my own question I think!
