Trying to figure out the best way to extend my Homeseer z-wave network to a remote location. It's a storage condo with a public wifi. My first thought is to fire up OpenVPN on the OS of the z-net and having it tunnel itself automatically back to my netgear R7000 that has integrated OpenVPN support. I use it for my iPhone today, and it works great.
But I'm not sure any of that would actually work. First, it's public wifi, and the config page of the Z-net (I already have one of them), is wide open. Any yahoo could find my z-net and, as a minimum, change its IP. Obviously, they could do a lot worse.
Then, I'm not even sure if you can get into the Linux of the z-net's raspberrypi to install openvpn.
How is everyone else putting a z-net in a remote location, miles away from their homeseer server?
