Setting up a VPN relay server to access home connection from outside?

Hi. I’ll like to set up a VPN server so that I can access my connection in any part of the world as if I’m connecting from the house. I’ve used both softether and windows incoming connections and none seem to work, so I’ll like some help, thanks.

One of the best ways I’ve found to do this is with a dedicated firewall appliance running pFsense and then just setting up OpenVPN from there. If you do go that route, don’t forget to get a Dynamic DNS address for when your IP given to you by your ISP changes. From my experience, it’s rare that your IP changes but it’ll help you avoid being unable to connect when you’re remote.

You can run OpenVPN on some firewall appliances like pfSense and Untangled. Another option is a docker or VM with OpenVPN Access Server. It’s really easy to setup and the first two connections are free.
