Arrangement:

Home network router:

  • ISP provided router
  • internet provided through cable
  • Router on 192.168.0.0/24
  • Computers connect to this network via wired or wireless connections
  • DNS and DHCP done by router

HOWEVER: This arrangement is problematic.

To protect traffic and privacy:

  • First (sub-optimal) step: protect traffic from each client by connecting to VPN, individually, client to server
  • Second (better) step: run a local VPN, so that nothing going into or out of those computers can be detected except for those who need to know.
  • Connections from internal computer to internal computer: protected by internal network VPN
  • Connections from internal computer to external computer: protected by Private Internet Access VPN provider
