Raspberry Pi VPN Server
Using OpenVPN software you can build your own virtual private network. By using a Raspberry Pi you’ll be able to create a 24/7 VPN that doesn’t consume much power but is powerful enough to handle a few connections at a time. You can also use it to connect your devices outside of your local network like they were in the network. It’s a long process to set up but this tutorial is simple to follow and walks you through the steps necessary.
Tricks of the Trade
Look at yourself as a first cause for the things you are experiencing. It’s not about assigning blame, it’s about being able to control things. And if you keep looking at all the variables involved in a situation (as well as the cause of those variables), you’ll eventually get to something you control. That doesn’t mean you are at fault, necessarily, only that you need to look for the things you can control, rather than focusing on those you cannot.
