How to make my home network access the internet via VPN?
  • If I was to buy a new router, I'd buy something compatible with openwrt and install a openvpn client on that one. But I was wondering, if there was a way around that with my current hardware.

  • How to make my home network access the internet via VPN?

    Hi and thanks for your help.

    I have a pretty besic router, so I can not install a VPN on the router itself.

    I have a docker instance, that is running PiHole. The PiHole is configure as the networks DNS, while the router does DHCP.

    Now instead of installing a VPN client on every of my devices I thought of deploying a VPN client on that docker instance and route all external traffic through the VPN like this: Client -> DNS -> VPN -> Router -> Internet

    Is that even possible from a technical point? What do I need?

  • My router came with a wireguard gateway. As I have a dynamic IP I set wireguard up with a ddns domain pointing to my IP.
