How to make a perfect VPN tunnel?

VPN
1

I have a small vacation cottage my family visits a couple weeks a year. I would like to make a VPN tunnel so when I am visiting devices see no difference at all between the locations. A few of the devices have DRM and need to be on my local network to work (I’ll let you guess what these are haha). So the tunnel has to be absolutely perfect i.e. no data leakage to the device at all that it isn’t at the main house. Maybe by connecting something like a Raspberry Pi to the Ethernet port of the device then having it connect to the tunnel though wifi.

Can anyone point me to where I can research more about accomplishing this? And if anyone has setup something similar I would love to hear you experience about it.

Read up on WireGuard, no software is perfect but that should do what you need it to.

If you want Layer 2 bridging of the LANs (e.g. if you have non-IP traffic of your “DRM” components) you’d have to go with OpenVPN in TAP mode.

I have a similar setup using WireGuard with PiVPN on a RaspberryPi 4B 2GB. They have a Linux and even a Windows client now and the setup is pretty straight forward . You can toggle the kill-switch on the client which force all traffic through the VPN and I think that’s what you are looking for. Be sure to use a RaspberryPi 4 since the earlier model has Ethernet through USB 2.0 which is not real 1 Gbps connection.

Perfect! That seems exactly like what I’m looking for.
