[Elecraft] KPA1500 - Static IPv4 address

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

I have a Raspberry Pi 3 running OpenVPN to solve exactly this kind of 
problem.

OpenVPN lets you connect remotely from the outside world and actually 
get an IP off of your own LAN.

The best thing about this is you aren't opening ports that *might* be 
vulnerable to some exploit -- other than the Pi, but at least it's a 
single point of attack.

You don't have to be a Linux expert to do this, you can pretty much do 
this in cookbook fashion successfully.

Once installed, you also get access to any NAS boxes, your home printer, 
etc. from anywhere -- the VPN is just like a really long ethernet cable.

Eventually, I'll get FLDIGI running on the Pi, when time permits, and 
have everything I need to run digital from anywhere inside or outside my 
home.

This is okay for one person access, which is all I need.  The software should provide multi-user access, but I have not been able to achieve that so far.
