Understanding VPN and security


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I'm testing out Unraid and I'm so pleased to learn how feature-rich it is.

 

I have a question about VPNs. I would like my Unraid box to connect via a VPN to a remote server. I need to install OpenVPN-AS docker app, and then on the remote server install OpenVPN. Have I got this right or is there another procedure to this?

 

I will be using this tutorial for the installation on the remote server.

Lastly, if the remote server is compromised in anyway, would that also mean my unraid box would be simiarly vulnerable?

 

Thanks
