I'm primarily trying to setup remote LAN access for Remote Desktop access to one Windows 10 PC. A nice to have would be to also access share files and the proposed NAS on the network as well. I've been looking around and there seem to be a few options to create your own VPN, like OpenVPN(?) and our network router also has this capability. But, where I'm not sure it will work is our network "architecture".
The router is configured as a DHCP relay and is plugged into a bigger "public" LAN/network. I call it "public" because it is in a shared workspace and therefore there are multiple users from various businesses connected to this network, either through LAN or using the WiFi (which is password-protected)
Some of the VPN guides I've seen specify you need a WAN IP and/or ports forwarded. But I imagine that since our router (DHCP relay) is effectively connected to another router (guessing DHCP server) this won't work?
At the moment, I'm thinking of using something like Hamachi (assuming a VPN setup won't work?) Otherwise are there any other options possible? Do we need to setup a VPN using a VPS? Or any other software? I also saw SoftEtherVPN, but not sure if this would work either?
