Hi guys. I will be living next to my parents house. And suppose both have there own internet connection, is there a way to connect both networks together? This will help me a lot with Plex media sharing and printing.

I have a setup of Linux Clearos router in my parents house, can this help me? I don't mind building another one from the other side if needed.  

 

Please advice me. Thanks,

I cant run a cable throw the wall. It is far and it will not last considering the climate in my location. 

 

I was thinking maybe there is something I can do with clearos router that can give me what I need. Perhaps other than site to site VPN?

 

In theory (yes in theory) this is good for my need? Outdoor Access Point? I mean if I have two of these facing each other, will it do? I believe this will extend the network of (A) not connecting (A) to (B).

If you have line of site, pickup a couple of these babies and there you go smoking wifi bridge between your locations.

Your clearos routers would allow you to do a site to site vpn using both sites internet connection to connect your 2 networks.

 

Why not just set up a free DNS on your parents' computer, or whatever is hosting the content using something like noip.com and then configure a port, then you can just connect any client on your network to access it.

And so could everyone else on the planet.. So sure if all he wants it to access his plex server that works too.  As long has he doesn't mind everyone else accessing it as well?  Since he says he is running clearos he could lock down the port forward to just his remote locations IP as the source.

 

He does not need to use any sort of dynamic dns to do this, he could just use the IP.  That is not really connecting anything together though that is just a simple port forwarding just like you would do to the public internet if you wanted to host a game server or www, etc..

    • What annoys me is the people that try to buy a higher end product, and then low ball you, and say but I don't need that function, all I need is to use it for video out so I don't feel like paying higher price.   I had a person that was trying to buy RTX 3080 from me for $100 and his excuse was, well I won't be playing games on it, I just need four monitor outout. Or someone was trying to buy 2TB Gen5 M.2 for $50, well I don't need the speed, is just for basic storage. Or i was offered $80 for 20TB hard drive, that person said well, right now I only about 7TB, so rest won't be in use Just some examples in last month or two...   The guy with the 3080, I replied to with something like go to Chevy dealer and offer them $15K for that brand new corvette and tell them that you you only need to drive to work, so you don't need to go fast.   There a lot of low ballers that try to take advantage.

    • Here in Finland we have lots of rural areas with narrow roads, one of the highest taxes in the world (cars are taxed way above EU standards) and fuel is quite expensive. Yet we educate our drivers to drive responsibly and safely in all areas, and our people respect each others rights and freedom to move around safely. Which is why we have even small children under 10 years old walking and cycling alone to schools in the streets, even in big cities. Safety is about being responsible and about respecting others. And I would hate to see AI (or anyone else) destroy our way of life. There are and always will be outliers, accidents happen and machines break. I dont't want to see people relying on AI to do things like driving for them. I want people to think and react to the world around them themselves, and being responsible instead of them browsing TikTok or whatever instead of looking out the window, and then saying that "It wasn't me, it was the car". Already people walk around town with their eyes glued to a screen – I don't want people driving around the same way.
    • And I should hope none will. I don't want to walk ouside to have some randome AI drive over me and mine. Not that I want a person to do it either but I want there to be an actual person who takes responsibility of their actions instead of relinquishing control to a machine. In some highways I can accept self-driving, but even then there should be some kind of dead man switch etc. that actually monitors the drivers status.
