Does such a thing exist?

Basically looking to have a remote location provide an internal IP that's recognized as coming from home.

Depends what you're trying to accomplish and at what speeds. OpenVPN can be pretty slow depending on the device, WireGuard should be faster.

Essentially the scenario is to bypass IP checks that confirm a device is located within the home. (Think streaming 720p video.... )

Would a pair of those do it on their own though? I don't know enough about setting up a VPN tunnel to pick hardware to do it.



Could a person set one Rpi up at home plugged into a lan port and then one at the remote location and have them create the tunnel?

You'd run an OpenVPN or WireGuard server on the Pi. Forward the port required on your router. Then you'd just run a VPN client on the remote device. You probably could use a Pi as a client/gateway at the remote site if you needed all devices on that network to go through the VPN.

Heh, I thought so, but I think they've done a lot towards preventing that from working? Unless you've found a recent post of somebody that has had success :)

If it your own personal VPN it will work. When I had a seedbox in the USA, I ran a VPN through it and Netflix USA worked perfect.

Heh... no I wasn't aware of the existing checks against that. I was thinking that an AP at the remote site could be given an internal "home" IP that would be recognized as internal to your home network.
