newbie at openvpn

Good. So do two more things. First, be sure you set the TUN to redirect internet traffic. That way, with public wifi your traffic goes down the tunnel and out from your home router, and can't be sniffed by others in the area. Second, set your home PC to sleep, and your router to WOL it, and put a shortcut on the laptop's desktop to the WOL page and save the RDC to your laptop's desktop. That way, you can form the VPN connection, wake up the desktop from the WOL page, and then RDC to the desktop. You save a lot on electricity, and your laptop can be a wimpy little thing you get for $129.

Not sure the point of doing RDC over cellular from your phone, but if you are away from a hotspot, you can tether the phone to the laptop and connect the laptop over cellular. If you are on a metered connection, change the RDC settings to scale way back on the color depth and save that as a second RDC file on your laptop's desktop. That will cut a yuge amount of data use.

the internet redirect I did already
But I did this just to learn how to do for a friend of mine
and my own experience
Thank you
