I have been trying to figure out how to setup a VPN for a couple weeks now and am coming up blank. I had an IT friend over to help and in 2 hours, we (mostly him) managed to get a VPN set up on my router and I was able to connect to it from my phone. The next morning, I could not connect.
I called my friend and he said that every week or so, I have to update my ip address and download a new openvpn cert in order to connect.
My question is, is this what everyone here does? I feel like I am missing something. I know the topic has been discussed at length around the forum but not in a central thread.
A little bit of info:
I have a Synology 1900AT router which has a VPN server built into the software. I also have OpenVPN connect installed on my phone. I have basic internet service from my ISP and do not have a static IP. I'm sure you guys will need more info so just try and guide me in the right direction and I'll post it.
I should also mention, I understand the concept of a VPN and understand basic networking.
