VPN setup

OS

I used a raspberry pi with Raspberry PI OS lite on it.

Best to use Raspberry Pi Imager to flash image onto SD card. This flasher allows you to enable SSH and configure WLAN during flashing

After that, I followed this tutorial

Notes on the tutorial:

• Working with a no-ip hostname did not work. Probably because I did not wait long enough after configuring the hostname? For now, I have configured an IP address, but this is not ideal, as the IP address can change.
• After configuring the pivpn, best to run pivpn -d to fix an iptables issue (see faq)

To Do

• Raspberry pi should have a private key SSH login
