hey everyone!
I have looked up VPN and understand that its a private network but confused on a few things.
Basically I have a pi connected to NAS, and I want that storage (with all my media) to be able to be connected by another Pi at my family's house a few hours away.
I am being told setting up a VPN is the best way to go, OpenVPN?
There are many guides out there (if someone can post a LEGIT one that would be great, for RASPBMC), but I dont understand what the difference is of setting up your own OpenVPN server vs paying for VPN (like VYPRVPN), If I pay for one do I just connect both Pi's to the Paid VPN via authentication as client? and how does one Pi see another, doesn't the IP Address always change?
Those are mainly the things I am confused about, the server side there are lots of guides but how do you actually connect the two pi's after that?? via server instructions or paid service!
thanks so much!!
