You're looking for a clever setup to bridge your mobile connection with a remote device. Think of it as building a hidden tunnel for data using a Raspberry Pi, a Huawei modem, and some smart networking tricks. You'll want to hook everything up with a Cat5e cable, use your phone as the gateway to the VPN server on the Pi, and maybe even set up a little firewall with PFSSL for security. It’s a tight timeline—good luck getting it running on time!

pfSense isn't compatible with Raspberry devices. It's designed for x86/x64 systems, while Raspberry is an ARM-based platform. You could consider OpenWRT as an alternative: https://openwrt.org/toh/raspberry_pi_fou...spberry_pi

It shouldn't require a router OS, just a basic Raspbian or any Linux distribution should suffice.

Using a graphical interface to configure routing and OpenVPN would be simpler for someone less familiar with the process, which is why I suggested OpenWRT.
