I have setup a self hosted VPN Server on my router (Asus RT-AC86U). It has the capability of supporting PPTP, OpenVPN and IPSecVPN. I'm not familiar with cloudfare tunnel, zerotier tunnel or NGinx....

This is not specifically a Win 10 question although my Win10 Pro PC is certainly part of the issue. Anyway hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

Basically there's two things I'm...

It's good to see I'm not the only one.

I gave a real consideration going the linux/open source route but I'm guessing that is not without it's own significant learning curve as well.

I've so dreaded the amount of work and effort I was going to have to...

Thanks all.
