Hi everyone,

I’m considering setting up a Raspberry Pi as a VPN server at home to route my internet traffic through it before connecting to my work VPN. My goal is to have my traffic appear as if it’s coming from a different location for privacy reasons before it hits the work VPN.

Here’s what I plan to do:

  • Set up a Raspberry Pi with VPN server software (likely OpenVPN).
  • Configure my devices to connect to the Raspberry Pi VPN first.
  • Then, connect to my work VPN.

I’m looking for advice on:

  1. The potential pitfalls of this setup.
  2. Whether this could affect my connection to the work VPN negatively.
  3. Any experiences you’ve had with a similar setup.
  4. Ensuring that I maintain a good security posture.

I’m aware of the policy implications and will ensure compliance with my work’s IT policies before proceeding.

Thanks in advance for your insights!
