<div dir="ltr"><div>I have been itching to setup a VPN using my ASUS RT-N16 running DD-WRT v24-sp2 (3/19/12) mega so I can access my local network while away from home. I have been doing some reading about it, and I am a little confused. What I want to do is access any server on the network from a remote location using my Android tablet or Debian laptop. I could just open some random ports and ssh into any of the boxes, but a VPN would be more challenging to setup...;)<br>
<br></div><div>I have not rooted my tablet (ASUS TF701), nor do I really want to. There is a non rooted version of openvpn for Android.<br><br></div><div>But then, I read this article (<a href="https://www.grc.com/vpn/routing.htm">https://www.grc.com/vpn/routing.htm</a>) and came to the conclusion that I need a bridged vpn, so with more reading I have to use tap and not tun. My first roadblock - the Android version of openvpn does not support tap, just tun.<br>
<br></div><div>First question - do I have to use bridging (hence tap) to be attached to my network at home from a remote location with my Android tablet? Do I have to use tap? What would you recommend for setting up my vpn?<br>
<br></div><div>Thanks,<br><br></div><div>Mark<br></div><div><br><br></div></div>
