Hi everyone, I want to ask a question to all the OpenWrt experts. I recently bought a 3D scanner, mainly for some personal projects. The scanner supports Wi-Fi connection, and I want to manage this scanner through my home OpenWrt router, and even remotely control it. In short, my goal is to make the 3D scanner work properly in my home network, and I want to know if I can set up remote access to the scanner through OpenWrt (for example, I can control it from the Internet).
My current idea is:
The scanner is connected to the home network via Wi-Fi, and then I want to assign it a fixed IP on OpenWrt for easy management.
Set up port forwarding so that the scanner can be remotely accessed from the Internet through the public IP address.
If possible, can a VPN be used to achieve a more secure remote connection? I see that OpenWrt supports OpenVPN and WireGuard, but I haven't played with VPN before, so I want to ask if this configuration is suitable?
You can get information about my scanner through the following link, which may help your reply:https://www.revopoint3d.com/products/portable-3d-scanner-pop3
I don't know if any friends have similar experience. If there are any pitfalls, please help me point them out!
