I would like to have a setup like this:
- One VPN to connect laptop on the road with machines at home LAN, and with VM:s on different hosts.
- Have this VPN "exit" via a commercial VPN-provider (for privacy).
Could I easily configure this? Have one of the VM's be the VPN server and configure it to "exit" trough the commercial VPN?
I haven't really managed / configured "real" VPN's, how does local access work? I.e, when I'm at home with my laptop and access my desktop that's on the same network, will the packets flow out to the remote VPN server and back, or can it resolve it locally somehow?
Also, will this break stuff that depend on Bonjour / ZeroConf (i.e Apple Airplay and stuff?)

This is easily doable, but it comes down to how much you trust your commercial VPN host. As it is, most of these service providers are pretty shady to say the least. If it were somehow possible to provide a service that is provably secure and log free, that would be a different story.
- filleokus 9y agoFor the last year or something I have been using https://www.ovpn.com/en https://www.ovpn.com/en. They are not shady at all, and allow bitcoin or cash payments, and are run by a friend of a friend, so I trust them. But no less provably secure compared to the rest.
- cat199 9y agoIt's all about the routing table and subnet masks/link-local addressing. start with the lan and configuring interfaces statically.. then run your own router (manually) then setup your portion of VPN to your VM. by that time, the rest will all make sense.
