If you can configure the router to forward the port used by the OpenVPN |
| 9 |
server to your laptop, you can run the server on your laptop. |

But, as is more likely, when you can not configure the router, running an |
| 12 |
OpenVPN server on (at least one) remote system and having your laptop |
| 13 |
connect to that, you can have the other systems push to your laptop over |
| 14 |
the VPN-link. |
| 15 |
Either directly (by establishing multiple VPN-links from your laptop (one |
| 16 |
to each server) or via one of the remote systems. |
