maybe teamviewer is a better option for you to manage your miners. thats what i use. very user friendly and i think it is encrypted as well, but i`m not sure about that actually.
its really easy, just instal on the miner and write down the number it gives you.
instal on your main pc and just enter the number for the miner and you have a remote desktop, also works on tablet and phones.
for a vpn connection for your whole network you should look into pfsense. that is widely used open source router software. very well documented and also really flexable. all you need is an old pc and a lan card.
or if you have an router that supports openwrt, i guess you can also install that.
you have to google it to get some more info, there are a lot of tutorials out there, also on youtube.

you need a host and every client needs his own instalation of the software you wish to use.
if the clients are on a seperate network, you can set up a router with vpn access (pfsense on an old pentium 4 pc or something) and use that as a proxy for all pc`s that are running behind it.
you basicly enter the network trough the router and have access to all connected devices without instals if you use remote desktop or putty or the likes.

EDIT: do you want to use the vpn to acces the miners, or do you want the miners to acces the internet trough the vpn?
if you want to have the miners acces the internet trough the vpn the easiest way is to connect the router to the vpn and have all traffic run trough the tunnel.
hope this makes sence.

either or. I have a private VPN software i use so i am assuming the most user friendly approach would be to just install the software on all 3 of my miners and just run it from there.
preferably for the long term i would like to have my whole network run on a single VPN but i would need a user friendly training module/guide to do that. i am a windows user.

Fellow Bitcoin bubbas,
i was curious about a question about VPN services. I am sure some people here have experience with VPNs. When i run a private VPN software on one machine, does that software set my whole IP and hence network on the new VPN tunnel or just that one machine? For instance, do i need to install the same software on all my miners to put the data on the VPN tunnel or can i just run it on my main machines software? I have been learning alot on VPNs over the last couple days but i have not been able to find a solid answer about at what level does the software create a tunnel. From what i understand, if i run it on one machine it creates the tunell and changes my router to reassign all data on my network to be in the tunnel.
My goal is to put most of my mining activity and browsing activity on a VPN tunnel.
Thanks for your time.
