A family-and-friends private VPN raises real home server questions
A private network already runs across several VPS machines. It uses a layout, where other servers connect back to one central hub. Access is protected with .
The VPN can work as a full tunnel, where all internet traffic goes through the VPN, or as a , where only selected traffic uses it. Outside internet traffic is not meant to pass through the hub; it would go through one of two s in separate locations. The goal is to let family and friends use the setup only for privacy and VPN needs.
A private Matrix server on the hub is also being considered so family and friends can message each other more privately.
Key points
- The setup uses several VPS machines as a private VPN network.
- provides the VPN connection.
- The network can use either full tunnel or routing.
- Internet traffic would leave through separate s, not through the central hub.
- A private Matrix server is being considered for family-and-friends messaging.
