I am currently using this travel router as a way for me to connect numerous devices (Android TV, Work Laptop, etc.) back to my home network so I can access my home server running Jellyfin/NAS/etc. while traveling.
I am also able to directly connect to my home VPN from my fedora Linux laptop. It occurred to me that it should be possible to share this connection to my other devices & remove the need to carry around the extra router (I’m all about minimalism when traveling!). I wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction on how I would go about configuring this.
Thank you so much!
It’s fairly easy to do, but if you don’t have a basic understanding of networking, you may run into some pitfalls.
Here’s a very basic guide to just routing and forwarding traffic: https://www.baeldung.com/linux/server-router-configure
This is probably a simpler tool for what you essentially want to do: https://github.com/lakinduakash/linux-wifi-hotspot
