And setup your openVPN server to authenticate clients (you on remote
location) with certificate not userid/password.   Also watch the log
files and see who besides you is trying to establish VPN connections
through your Pi server?

BTW just curious, is this related to another thread you had started
(way back) regarding access to disallowed sites from your work place
(IIRC)?
