I see that most self-hosted VPN setups are used for remote access to home labs, but what about mobile home labs?
I’ve had several thoughts for making a lab on the go, but I think I will run into the same wall with any of these setups.
- Adding a home lab to my Field Service van
- Adding a home lab to my Dad’s camper
- Doing a van conversion that adds a home lab
- Adding a homelab to a boat/yacht for living on the water
- Smaller setups: Homelab-in-a-backpack, cars with computing equipment (similar to modern EMS and police vehicles), etc.
But I think all setups have the same limitation: Almost all cellular networks have large amounts of NAT. I was thinking I could make use of a DDNS service, but I am not entirely sure that would work. Even if I got a nice cellular modem, I still think that VPN hosting may not work well due to all of the NAT.
I could try satellite solutions, but that wouldn’t work for my smaller scale ideas.
Does anyone have any ideas or know of any mobile solutions that work? I am interested in a solution that is purely mobile (no dependency on a home network).
