I finally got my OpenVPN system to start working, however, I was still having the problem that I didn’t want to connect to my VPN inside of my house in order to connect to my Pis.
My friend told me about LogMeIn Hamachi, which heĀ used for making mini servers in Minecraft. After doing some research about it, I found out that Hamachi allows the computer to have access to the local as well as the VPN network at the same time, which is exactly what I wanted it to do.
I had to jump through a couple of loops, however, I got both my PiVPN and my PiRoom part of the Hamachi VPN network, and it works beautifully. This is how my system looks right now:
If you notice, PiVPN isn’t there right now, it is actually experiencing some difficulties. Nevertheless, I can access my PiRoom from all of my devices and even get solid work done outside of my home network. Even though this wasn’t my original idea, I’m still going to mark this off as a success.
