Thanks!

I'm trying to ssh to tryhackme's server (the lag with the attack box is just too annoying). I figured out I had to install the server. but now when I run it it just logs me into my own system. Not tryhackme's. 

Here is what I did if you want to look:

michael@desktop1:~$ ifconfig

You've got to be running an OpenVPN server.

I'm running a pfSense firewall, and it has an option for setting up an OpenVPN server. I also have a TrueNAS system that also has the option of ruining an OpenVPN server. The point here, is that the software for running an OpenVPN server is diverse and flexible. Additionally, I have mine configured to not require a username or password, instead of checks for an authorized TLS certificate.

Really handy.

I traveled to the Midwest for Christmas and brought my laptop. It was really nice being able to connect the VPN and then have access to my local network, all the way from South Dakota!

Thanks,

How do I access files on a remote network using openvpn? Everything I am finding with google is connecting to the external server but not how to access files on said server. Or wait... maybe I set open vpn up suuccessfullly! Next I would ssh the file?

ssh {user}@{servers ip address (found in ifconfig)} <enter>

it asks for password and then you treat it as if you are on your computer?
{user} & password= what I signed up with
