A way to have a device connected to someone's network pass its data to my pc
So long story short uncle owns a car garage and recently something called "Remote car diagnostic" was introduced. To give you guys an idea on what usually happens :
1) a customer needs their car scanned, we connect an OBD port into the car, OBD port is either connected to its own scanner or directly to the PC
1.a) if the OBD is connected to its own scanner there are three ways in which this scanner can connect to my PC which contains programming and actual scanner apps. Either via a LAN cable, or via its own hotspot OR the scanner connected to the local wifi router, of which the PC needs to be connected to, to be able to receive data.
2.a) here is what im looking forward to achieve. Either have the scanner that connects to my local router, be connected to someone's router, and a way for me to somehow connect to it.
2.b) OR have the scanner connected via a LAN cable to a laptop, then have that laptop act as a station that sends data to my PC.
Please, if you know a way explain it step by step, as I've lost braincells trying to figure out a way for this.
Note: I was told tunnel VPNing works, as in, having X pc connect via a VPN i setup on my local server(winbox) or router that supposedly makes the computer overseas act as if it is connected to my network locally
Also worth mentioning that while talking to someone, i was directed into buying an OBD port called "OBD plug adapter ETHERNET to OBD 2 interface
