Re: New Member Question

Pardon my ignorance. You have a local network within your house with just your stuff on it. You have the Macs in your shack and the RPi in the garage. The Macs are on Ethernet and the RPi is wireless. Aren't they all on the same router? Wouldn't that be on the same subnet? Why the hassle of VPN between computers on the same local network? Wouldn't normal connectivity/file sharing protocols work just fine? With almost a dozen devices on my local network, about equally distributed between wired and wireless, I have no issues communicating between them. Not understanding the problem.

Can I assume I can't VPN into them from the RPi if the RPi is only wireless - they have to be on the same network, right? Getting Ethernet to the RPi would mean poking a hole in the wall to the garage and I'm not sure the XYL would smile on that. I would like to VPN to the Macs because I have various files there that I'd like to see/use on the RPi. |
