I've read a lot of threads but still remain unsure what to use (beside some aspect of VPN) or where to start.
Dual need.
1) I need to access my elderly mom's network as if I was onsite. My RT-AC86U network is configured as 192.168.1.0/24. Their network is 192.168.2.0/24. I need their side to always startup ready for me to 'connect'. My desire is that this tunnel is always up and enabled. I do NOT want any of my devices ON their network, just be able to reach them. Ping, SMB, local HTTP access to the router, Remote screen sharing, etc.
2) I'd like to be able to redirect, one or two devices on MY network, on-demand (controlled in my RT-AC86U as I need) so all their traffic uses their ISP (i.e. On their network). These devices cannot have any software installed on them.
Are these needs mutually exclusive?
Where do I start and what can I do in advance of my visit? It's a 2 hour drive each way so anything I can do to prepare (generate cert on my side, etc...) would help. Likewise, Any configuration there needs to be right the first time while I'm there.
Thanks
