![]() I'm not a skilled programmer but a way to avoid that problem would be to have a script that gets your IP address (e.g in Linux ifconfig), capture the output and email it to yourself every so often. The only problem you might have is with dynamic IP addresses from your ISP - however if you keep the thing up and running the chances are the IP address won't change until you re-boot. I prefer Linux for any type of Networking as it always seems to work - Windows Networking IMO just seems so random - things just stop working for no apparent reason etc. You CAN use Windows but it's probably best to use a WINDOWS SERVER edition for creating an OPENVPN but it can be done on Windows. ![]() Running the OPENVPN on a VM is perfectly OK - ensure though you give the VM a STATIC IP on your LAN - use BRIDGED rather than NAT networking when creating the VM and in your Router - for clients (other machines on your LAN / mobile phones / tablets) use DHCP but reserve a fixed IP for the VM - plus you'll have to Port forward too (default for OPENVPN is port 1194 and UDP). How To Setup and Configure an OpenVPN Server on CentOS 7 | DigitalOcean Install say CENTOS 7 as a VM and then create your OPENVPN following these instructions There's plenty of ways to create a FREE OPENVPN server - but I'd suggest doing it on a LINUX box - Since you are in Norway you will certainly have decent broadband speed (note UPLOAD speed is important here - doesn't matter if you have 1 Gbps download if upload is a measly 8mbps or whatever !! since outside your LAN you will have HIDEOUS response times.
