Does anyone know a cheap and effective way to trick one "device" into believing it is on one LAN while it is actually on another? I know a VPN should work, but the target device is not a computer, so the device does not support VPN. So I need a means of taking an Ethernet device and make it honestly believe it has a wired Ethernet connection with a router in another state. Any suggestions?

Router to router VPN?

yeah. ddwrt or pfsense.

But how would you know if it honestly believes it? Lie detector test?

i mean there are dozens of ways to accomplish this, none of which are free and/or require no additional hardware.

what is said device? If it starts with an a, just throw it away.

For example, two road runner customers, both with a router and NAT. I want to keep a device in one house but make it believe it is in the other.

+1 for the ddwrt openVPN build.

You set one ddwrt as the server, and the other as the client. Once you set it up everything will appear to be on the same network 24/7. We have the exact same thing for a phone here. It connects happily and we can dial "the office" for free over the vpn.

I guess there's no app for that...
