Home Network via VPN (alien.top)

Hey there, i want all my network devices to go via a VPN tunnel.

Router: 192.168.0.1
VPN PC: 192.168.0.2
Main PC: 192.168.0.100

I have a separate windows pc where i installed nordvpn and set up Internet Connection Sharing (tried on both adapters: TAP Adapter and NordLynx), but was unable to get my main pc having internet though this. On my Main PC, i set the gateway to 192.168.0.2 but im unable to ping google.

Anyone set up something like this? Im not sure if the problem is ICS related or VPN related.

I monkied with something similar on my network but I didn't use ICS.

You basically have two options:

Far and away the easiest method: buy a router that has OpenVPN capability. It will act as the NordVPN "client" and all PCs connected to it will route their traffic through NordVPN. You'll almost certainly incur a bandwidth throughput penalty for doing this, as the router will be eating the encryption overhead of the VPN connection.
Put a proxy server on the VPN PC, and then connect it to NordVPN. Point all clients on the network to the proxy server.

2 is sloppy and I don't suggest it, but it can work.
