It's not a 1:1, but I use OpenVPN (I run my own home server), I gave one of my friends the profile and it works just fine. Pretty easy, imo
do you have any tutorial. I just want to run a Minetest server for 2 players using OpenVPN
I'd really suggest something Wireguard-based like Tailscale instead of OpenVPN for latency sensitive applications like games.
The great thing about mesh vpn's like tailscale is that each device connects directly to each other. This means traffic isn't routed through a central server, which results in lower latency. If you run game server and vpn on the same host/network/router it doesn't make a difference in latency.
How do I set it up for my Steam Deck?
The installation guide for tailscale [1] requires a bit of terminal use, but it's only copy pasting of a few commands.
There's also a Decky plugin to control tailscale from gaming mode [2]. Installing and setting up both took me around 15min.
