You likely won't be able to SSH to it. Either flash it or toy around with routes on the router with OpenVPN *server* is installed.Comment

PPTP or OpenVPN is gonna be the same thing after all - ie., you'll need to adjust the routing or do a SSH tunnel.Comment

Etrafu I have give up on running OpenVPN client on a router. I've tried OpenVPN client on a Win 10 PC and it works great. So for the SSH part I need to install SSH Sever on the OpenVPN client machine, right? And I'll use a windows machine connected to the OpenVPN server router for the SSH client?
UPDATE: I just installed SSH Sever using powershell on to a Windows 10 Pro machine.Conext XW5548

If your OpenVPN client is running on Windoze, you might just as well use RDP and avoid SSH entirely.Comment

The OpenVPN Client/SSH server machine has all of it's firewalls disabled. I'll probably use Teamviewer RDP which also has built in VPN but I've spent so much time on this I need to figure it out for piece of mind.
Thanks all your help and if you have any ideas please let me know.Conext XW5548

Extrafu have you tried RDP or Teamviewer using Hughesnet? I'm wondering weather the latency is unbearable.Conext XW5548

I've used both and they were just fine over a satellite connection. We first started with the idea that the WiFi router where the ComBox is connected would run Openwrt (like me) but if you don't end up doing that and you prefer having a Windows PC acting as a VPN client, it's better that you either use RDP instead of SSH's port redirection OR you use TeamViewer.
The advantage of running Openwrt on the WiFi router is that it'll consume less electricity than a Windows laptop - which might also crash, freeze, go to sleep or die for running 24/7 non-stop.Comment

So I won't use SSH but I still want to figure it out. I discovered that I can ping the IPs on the local network from within Powershell but can't ping them with a command prompt. So that's why I couldn't log into the router AP in my test setup. Makes no sense to me.
Thanks for all the help Extrafu!Conext XW5548

Beware about TeamViewer. I used the free version to maintain my dad's computer remotely for 3 years.

If TeamViewer goes ape-**** on the Mini PC, you won't be able to use MS Remote Desktop from home to your Mini PC. You *will need* a VPN tunnel for this, since your Hughesnet modem port-blocks every incoming connections / doesn't do port forwarding.Comment

I'm coming into that time of year where snow covering the panels won't be an issue. I'll have time to get this all sorted out including a second way to remote start/stop my genset using the two wire interface of my AGS board connected to an Insteon on/off module. The Insteon stuff has been 100% reliable connected to the Hughesnet router as has the Blink XT2 camera equipment.Conext XW5548
