Re: [SOLVED] Home Vpn

Not sure what outline is... if it is a resource on your home LAN, and if you want to access it and/or other home LAN machines, you can use openvpn or wireguard.  The setup I prefer is to containerize the VPN (LXC is my preference) which allows the host server to do all it needs to in addition to running the VPN which you can manage in the container.

It could be easy to setup the vpn to run without the lxc, but I don't know how to keep the host LAN interface separate from the VPN interface, which is one reason to use the containerization.

Re: [SOLVED] Home Vpn

thanks a lot for the replies sorry my question was kind of vague ill try again.

So at my home i have a basic hp small form factor PC that has arch Linux on it, currently i have it setup as a vpn/proxy server, it is using Outline vpn as the vpn, i connect to this server while i am at school because they have a firewall blocking websites that i actually need for school.

I would like to make it so when i connect to my vpn/proxy server instead of using my home ip it connects to another vpn so it would be like i was just connecting to a normal vpn service but while also going through my home server since most vpns are blocked at the school i attend.

It would sort of look like this:

Me at school  --->  Outline server  --->  Vpn provider  ---> Outline server  --->  Back to me

when i enable my vpn on my server while Outline is running it thinks my ip has changed and will adapt to the new ip making me lose connection to my server how would i make the vpn on my server run with outline not changing to the new ip adress?

What is "it"?
