Ultimately, but if the r-r Pi is allowed to the Internet by the existing router configuration then the SSH reverse tunnel works before changing the router. Even if you have VPN and router-changes working, you might still want to have it running as a backup access method. > The 'simulated WMT network' is a physical representation of the real > network at WMT, so I have an RPi3 with the Webserver software on it > (and ulimately the VPN if I can get it to co-exist with nodogsplash). If you understand the method nodogsplash uses for control and want to get something working alongside it, whether SSH, OpenVPN, or Wireguard, then https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2018/10/22/introduction-to-linux-interfaces-for-virtual-networking/ might be useful in understanding all the terms and what they provide. -- Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2020-07-07 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
