Step 2
Not needed for USB stick
I have been running a remote ZWave network on a ZMEEUZB1 plugged into a RPi3 connecting through a VPN over the internet to my main HS3 system running on windows. Originally I used VirtualHere server/client so that the USB stick appeared as a COM port on the windows machine. This has worked well for several weeks. The only downside is that if there is an internet dropout (happens perhaps every couple of days) the ZWave plugin drops the remote interface and doesn't reconnect without the plugin being restarted. I had this handled by events so it didn't really cause any issues other than a short interruption in my local ZWave network as well as the remote one.
I have now swapped from VirtualHere to Ser2Net. The benefit is that the ZWave plugin recovers from dropouts in the IP connection to the remote network without requiring a restart so doesn't interrupt the local network.
So far this is running well.
