CONFUSE ON WHERE TO SETUP OPENVPN

[HHUBS]

Hello, just want to ask. I want to access my unraid dashboard(GUI) remotely and also to setup my owncloud to access outside LAN so that I can sync files even I'm remote. 

 

So base on that I found out that I need to setup VPN particularly OpenVPN to do that. To note, I'm on my ISP CGNAT.

 

But I'm confuse where to setup my VPN server. Should I setup it up on the unraid itself or the VPS? Will it work if I'm behind CGNAT.

 

I also have a TP Link router that has a capability of setting up an OpenVPN. If I setup in the router, then my router is the server and my unraid is the client, will it work that way?

 

I have a month subscription to PureVPN to test it but sometimes it's not working and I need to forward ports on the router.

 

Sorry I'm new to VPN. Also I'm a windows guy and have very limited knowledge on linux so ssh or command line is not an option to me.

No. None of the normal instructions or tutorials will work with CGNAT.

 

If you search the forums I seem to remember a few people working around it, but I don't remember the details.

 

It's not particularly simple, I remember that much.

I'm dead now. No options for me. I'll research for it.

What if I setup a VPN server on the cloud, for example digital ocean? Then I setup my NAS as a VPN client and connect to my VPN Server? Then when I'm remote I can access my NAS using VPN?
