I’m organizing this network design to maximize reliability. The er605 will handle dual WAN connections, while the mobile unit runs ISPs AT&T and Verizon with failover between them. Your Comcast line feeds one WAN port, and your ISP IPs can be managed centrally. For secure remote access, consider a VPN router that supports multi-source DNS or DDNS integration, eliminating the need for dynamic IP assignment across providers. This setup ensures consistent connectivity without complex configuration.

It seems you're looking for an alternative to standard VPN solutions like Zerotier or Tailscale. These options operate differently—they rely on cloud-based servers that facilitate dynamic device connections without handling your data directly. If your router doesn’t support them, you can deploy them within your local network as a relay point.

Yes, that sounds correct. A Raspberry Pi can handle running Tailscale and manage your ER605 as a subnet router.

Using a Raspberry Pi offers plenty of resources and samples for this setup. Running it on your server is another possibility, though it can make troubleshooting harder if there are network issues.

I’m relying on the server for AI compute services and according to the agreement it must simply host without any extra tasks, making the Raspberry Pi a secure choice. It also looks possible to run additional functions like network-wide ad blocking alongside it.

It’s possible to execute various tasks on one device. Keep in mind the impact on your network reliance, find alternatives if problems arise, and watch for high CPU or memory usage.
