Making my own tunnel connection.

[cesedy]

Hi.

I would like to make my own tunnel/VPN connection.

At the moment I am in a different country and I have computer in my home country.

I would like to connect to my home computer and use its connection for LEGAL torrent downloads. Of course, the connection should be encrypted.

 

Do I understand correctly - I need to make SSH server on home computer and connect to it with SSH client? 

As server I would use MobaSSH (which uses OpenSSH).

But what would I need to connect to this SSH? There is a MobaSSHTunnel (https://blog.mobatek.net/post/ssh-tunnels-and-port-forwarding/), but I am confused witch connection should I use - remote port forwarding or dynamic (SOCKS proxy)?

And if the connection is successful, that should be it? I have secure, encrypted connection and I can download LEAGL stuff, and it would show as I am downloading from home computer?

 

Thanks.

 

TL;TR - I want a VPN like connection to my home computer for LEAGL downloading. How to do it?

Use OpenVPN, there's a Windows installer available here , other installers are available here. If you want a SOCKS5 proxy, you can use Squid for Windows, available here. If you want to open a port, enable port 22 to allow for SSH connections under your router's configuration.

 

Note that using a VPN or proxy will route all of your traffic through the source unless configured otherwise, opening a port allows direct connection to your OpenSSH server without routing traffic. Opening a port is the least secure option, but is the easiest to set up. OpenVPN is the next best option, security is dependent on how you configure it.
