I am trying to set up my network with a vpn via pia vpn, I need my whole network to be routed through a dedicated ip address which I have with pia. My isp doesn’t support port forwarding let alone a dedicated ip. I live in an apartment so switch isp’s isn’t really an option; besides my internet speed is 800mbps down and 900mbps up on a bad day so I really like the speed. I have a linux server is it possible to have that route put a vpn on my network? My router supports vpn’s but pia doesn’t support dedicated ips for routers just dynamic. I am going thru this trouble because I am a software developer and i have dev-kits that require a dedicated public ip address. Any help would be awesome, thank you in advanced!
Your router just needs to act as the VPN client to send data to PIA and the internet. You don’t need any fancy port forwarding or server for your router to be a VPN client.
Yes.
Make the Linux server your router.
I contacted pia support and they told my i cant do that for my use case; I bought a dedicated Ip from them back in march for three years to use via pia but they told me i cant setup my dedicated ip on routers. I have an asus GS-AX5400
Ok, what os would you recommend? (currently it has rocky linux install)
also how would I route the traffic thru the Pia CLI and output to a another ethernet port?
I can’t attest to the accuracy of this link but you’ll find lots of examples out there of how to route traffic on a Linux server.
Ok, thank you; I will look into it.
