Unnecessarily complex, imho. Each site will now run an openvpn server and two clients. 3 x 3 processes in total. It will also be a chaotic nightmare of a network setup. Just my opinion.
No, three servers and one client. You still don't get the idea. I don't know how to explain it. I'll try again.
I think maybe you are ignoring or forgetting David's original "spec" -
"Three sites .... that I would like to integrate into my own WAN and be able to see devices (machines, printers, etcetc)." In addition, David wanted to also connect his laptop when on the road.
No, I did not forget. The laptop is the client in my drawing.
One day I'm going to use mostly resources on site A, and a few on B and C. Another day I'm going to use mostly resources on site B, and a few on A and C.
Day one:
site A Site B Site C | | | openvpn-------openvpn------------openvpn server server server | | Client
In the above, assuming the horizontal dashes between sites indicate a connection, how do you imagine those connections are made?
Internet. He has to connect the sites somehow. They can not be connected at the LAN level, different sites.
I see three server configs (A, B, C), and at least two client configs (A->B, C->B) plus three client configs on your laptop. In addition, it requires configuration of the per-site router/modem for the port forwarding.
Then openvpn is not as easy as you people are touting :-D -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)
