Hello everyone, I've been reflecting a lot over the past year. We currently have some solid deals on workstations and my restaurant, which I used to manage as a video/after effects/3D professional. I once worked with all the tools at home, but now I often think about those 32 Xeon cores sitting idle while the restaurant runs 24/7. This week I connected remotely to use them for folding@home. My question is: which method would be best for setting them up on my LAN? Options include VPN and tools like TeamViewer for remote access and launching rendering queues. With symmetric 600Mb bandwidth between both sites, I don't think speed will be an issue. Thanks in advance!

You're likely looking for a VPN solution. Which operating system is your device using? If it's Windows, does it support RDP?

All systems are operational on Windows 10, and NAS servers use Linux.

We will connect via SSH and RDP through a VPN.

Restaurant the router is a Mikrotik without memory of its exact model, but it likely has a fixed private IP. It should work with PPTP. Your home router is an Asus RT-AC66U, which now also supports PPTP, though it doesn’t have a static IP—only DDNS. Both seem capable of OpenVPN. I’m not sure about the specific differences, especially after your last VPN setup. Any advice would be appreciated?

You should have the VPN client installed on your computer, not on your router. Running it through your home network increases your risk because certain threats can scan the public network.
