Network setup

Hi all, I need a little help configuring my home network.

I live in a remote location, and to obtain internet access I have built a wifi system. This uses a series of Ubiquiti M5-400 radios to transmit from my house to a solar powered repeater on the top of a 3000 ft hill 8 km away, and from there to a friends house another 18 km away where I join his home network. He has 1000 mbs fibre access to the internet. I have a remote camera and weather station located on the hilltop as well. I want to be able to set up a VPN from within my house, and I want to set this up on my router which is a Ausu RT AC68U. I currently use a VPN by using an old laptop and sharing the port which is clumsy. My speeds are good at around 250 - 300 MB/s at the moment.

Currently I am using my router to connect to the network via a LAN port, but to enable the VPN I think I need to use the WAN. I obviously want to be able to access my remote radios, switch and camera after the change.

At my friends house he has a Huawei HG630b however these are quite limited in configuring the VPN. I guess I could swap our routers, but I like my Asus.

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words, I guess whoever said that never saw my drawing, but I have a bit of a picture to show you what it looks like.

Any help would be appreciated.
