N80 as (WiFi/VPN) gateway?

1 replies · 10,377 views · Started 02 June 2006

Hi,

I want my N80 to act as a WiFi gateway for a VPN tunnel. To be more precise:

1. On the WAN side my N80 sets up an VPN tunnel with an OpenVPN server
2. On the LAN side devices local to the N80 use it as a gateway.

The goal is to have all communication from the other devices routed/tunneled via the N80, through the tunnel, to the openvpn server.

Is this at all possible?

Thanks!

Technically, yes. Practically, probably not (unless you're a good C++ software developer, because there is no pre-existing software for something like this).

The N80 might also not have enough performance or memory to make something like this work.
