How To Configure OpenVPN Server on GL.iNet Router and Work From Anywhere
DISCLAIMER I FORGOT TO MENTION:
If you turn your VPN VM - it does not generate charges on your bill. So you can turn your VM off while you are not traveling and you won't get charged any money for it, and you can turn it back on right before you travel and it will work just as it did before you shut it down.
I did not create this video, my friend did it for me and he goes travelling sometimes with the router.
He wishes to stay anonymous.
