How to access the Internet through your router remotely?

Question

network hardware

Guys, hello!
I have a static IP at home, to which accesses to a number of customer's corporate resources are attached.
There is a problem, the work needs to be done constantly, but from another IP I will not be able to access the resources. I have to go away for a couple of weeks and I can't stop working.

Can I somehow remotely connect to my router to access the Internet under my home IP?
Router Keenetic Omni.

Yes, if you can configure VPN access to the internal network on the router (VPN server tab on ASUS)

Answer 3

There are several ways. Arranged from the simplest to the most difficult:
1. Temporarily make a proxy through an ssh connection:
ssh -D 8080 [email protected] -p22
Since you have a static address, it will not be difficult to throw out the ssh port of the router.
After the connection is established, do not close the console until the end of the session.
In the browser, you prescribe the SOCKS proxy 127.0.0.1 port 8080 and all browser traffic will go through your router.
Pros: very fast, does not require special settings, the proxy does not stick out constantly on the network.
Cons: ssh sticking out. You need to additionally worry about its security (change the port, make authorization by keys or make access to SSH only from certain ip)
2. Install a SOCKS proxy on the router:
I don't know if Zyxel has proxy servers for their routers in their repositories. In openwrt, for example, it definitely is. Or a proxy can be set up on any device behind a router on your internal network to give access to it.
Pros: you can configure authorization, the proxy will always be available.
Cons: again, you need to ensure security either by restricting access to the proxy port only from certain ip, or by setting a login and password on the proxy.
3. VPN:
Install any vpn server on the router. For example openvpn.
Pros: you can wrap all traffic through your router and do not prescribe proxies, authorization by keys and traffic encryption.
Cons: the setup is long and complicated relative to the first points.

Answer 4

A stupid option: leave the computer turned on at home, connect to it remotely, ...
More complicated: On Mikrotik, you can definitely set up a VPN and prescribe a route to access the Internet through it. Whether it will work with your router - I don’t know.
