Using Micro-PC as VPN Router using Linux Mint

[Hugh_Mann 0]

I have a micro PC running Linux Mint 18 that has a dual NIC. For security and privacy reasons, I would like to have all of my Internet devices routed through this computer (wireless).

Could anyone point me in the right direction for instructions on how to do this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Unfortunately I don't have a tutorial for you and I don't use Linux Mint but its a debian based OS so I would guess the same processes would work for you.

1) First setup your openvpn connection and get tunnel assignment

2)Next try to fallow the instructions for hosting a wifi hotspot for a RPI https://frillip.com/using-your-raspberry-pi-3-as-a-wifi-access-point-with-hostapd/

3) Replace the iptable "eth0" commands with the tunnel interface

sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o tun0 -j MASQUERADE  
sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i tun0 -o wlan0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT  
sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i wlan0 -o tun0 -j ACCEPT

 

Hope that helps some.

why not install pfsense on it?   there's a great guide for pfsense 2.3 in the forums.  you'd still have no problem setting up 2.4 following that guide.
