Hi everyone,

I’m considering setting up a Raspberry Pi as a VPN server at home to route my internet traffic through it before connecting to my work VPN. My goal is to have my traffic appear as if it’s coming from a different location for privacy reasons before it hits the work VPN.

Here’s what I plan to do:

  • Set up a Raspberry Pi with VPN server software (likely OpenVPN).
  • Configure my devices to connect to the Raspberry Pi VPN first.
  • Then, connect to my work VPN.

I’m looking for advice on:

  1. The potential pitfalls of this setup.
  2. Whether this could affect my connection to the work VPN negatively.
  3. Any experiences you’ve had with a similar setup.
  4. Ensuring that I maintain a good security posture.

I’m aware of the policy implications and will ensure compliance with my work’s IT policies before proceeding.

Thanks in advance for your insights!

    More like you want to work from a location that you should not be working from.

    Do not delude yourself that you won’t be discovered.

    There is not rational reason to use a VPN to try and hide your for WFH.location
