I have a DS218 I am using as a media server (only for devices within my network), I am thinking of also using it as a gateway/proxy server mainly because I would like to have most of my household work through a vpn.
Think it's possible for me to set up the NAS to run as a proxy server but also connect to the internet via a VPN?
I also think I'll just be changing the gateway on all devices that need vpn as I do not want to lose the B315's wifi range.
Main reason/s for wanting to do this are as follows:
Considering replacing my Vodacom 100GB+100GB with the new Rain package and don't want to be throttled.
International/US Netflix.
Arrr
My current network setup is pretty simple.
Internet comes through a Huawei B315.
House LAN is through TP-Link EOP (1x AV-600 Wifi kit and 1x AV600 kit).
Will be for around 4 android devices, 2 pc's (one is plugged into a tv) a laptop, cctv, smart tv or Fire TV Cube (as the cube is plugged into the tv).
At a push I'll only have the TV/firetv/1 pc run through the nas.
Main reason I want to use the nas for this is because it's the only device that is always at home and always on.
Thanks in advance.
