Can i setup OpenVPN tunnel this way from home computer?

Hello,

i found these tutorials:
https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/miscellaneous/78-static-key-mini-howto.html
http://www.techrepublic.com/article/get-a-quick-vpn-with-openvpn/#postComments

it is describing openvpn setup of the tunnel

im having Linux VPS on other end of the Earth with its own IPv4 and SSH connection. I would like to use it as a reverse proxy for my home computer, meaning that all my home Windows computer traffic (TCP and UDP) will be able to go only thru the encrypted tunnel to my remote Linux VPS and from there it will do what i requested and send reply back to me thru the encrypted tunnel. Can i achieve this using above mentioned tutorials?

The thing i do not understand is the part where they mention:
ifconfig 10.8.0.1 10.8.0.2

My server IP is normal like 155.132.12.27
So i do not understand what it do this mentioned above setting. Thank you

I believe what you described is a forward proxy.

But sure, no problem. You can just install the OpenVPN Access Server package on your VPS's OS and have it going in a couple of minutes. When you use the OpenVPN Connect application on your PC it will default route all of your traffic through the VPN to the VPS and out at that stage.

thx, I need tutorial for the whole setup that is why i quoted 2 tutorials in my first post. But i mentioned i do not understand the ifconfig thing how that works and why that IP is used.

Usually that approach is for persistent site-to-site tunnels. If you run an access server you don't need to screw around with configuration files, and you can administer via GUI once installed.
