[tjabas]

Hi!

today im using torguard vpn, mostly for a little torrents, but im trying to understand openvpn tunnel to my home network.

How does it work?

can i make a connection to my home network using a vpn connection?
and can i reach all of my network, as if i where home in front of my computer?
If so, how do i set it up?`
is there any guides?

@tjabas
VPN = Virtual Private Network
So yes, OpenVPN gives you an additional subnet and a virtual network interface, where the clients are connected to after establishing a connection.

You can control the access with firewall rules or forward it as on any other interface.

pfSense has a wizard implemented for configuring an OpenVPN server with the intention to access the local networks.
It's pretty easy. Just give it a try.

Also it's all well documented: OpenVPN Remote Access Configuration Example
