Complete Installation Details about OpenVPN on a Raspberry Pi.

VPN Connection Types

This section is important for future steps (so you know what kind of profiles you’d like to create). We will be creating either a split-tunnel VPN, full-tunnel VPN, or both in later steps.

Split-Tunnel VPN: Traffic is only sent through your network if it is attempting to access an internal resource. Your IP address when navigating to a site outside of your network will be the IP address of the network that you are currently on.

Full-Tunnel VPN: All traffic is sent through your home network. Your IP address for internal and external requests will be your home networks.
