I am currently running OpenVPN on a Mikrotik router to enable myself to connect from an external network to my home network. However, the current OpenVPN implementation does not support UDP, MFA and SHA256, which I am hoping to use.
As such, I am looking to install OpenVPN on a Raspberypi server on my network. The raspberrypi currently also serves as an external web server.
Since I only have one router and IP, I think the only place I can place it is insider the network. However, should I setup a separate zone/bridge for the Raspberrypi web server? I'll have to provide the VPN client with full access to my network so I'll have to reopen ports anyways. So will having a separate zone/bridge actually provide any security benefits?
Where should the Raspberrypi server be placed on the network?
Also, is there a security risk in reusing the same server for multiple functionality?
