How could I connect to a remote router located far, far away, with an intention to browse the internet by...
-2
Scenario:
Let's say my friend lives 10km away
With his permission I'd like to use his internet connection 24/7 as if I'm there, and browse the internet by using his public IP address, just like you would use a VPN. That is my goal.
- No servers, no special software that would require his computer to run 24/7 (meaning a VM on his Host is not an option too)
- So by knowing the conditions, is it even possible to use his router alone to achieve my goal ?

How can you connect to his router/network when you're 10k away, without using the internet? Is that the basic question... essentially "How do I connect to a computer miles away with no internet?" Oh, and no special software or I'm assuming special hardware either?

"How do I connect to a computer miles away with no internet?"" Where did you see "with no internet" ?! I even wrote "just like you would use a VPN" If I can remotely access his router, perhaps there's a way I could use it to browse the internet as if I'm there. Simply put, is there a way to use my friend's internet connection as if I'm using him like I'm using a VPN, but without the need of a server. Just asking something in a field I have little knowledge about, no need to be rude.

I wasn't being rude, just trying to isolate the question. Why the emphasis on the distance (far far away, 10km away) if you're already using the internet anyway? That's what pointed to looking for some alternate connection method. Anyway, if you want your friend to be your VPN, then your friend has to run VPN software on some device, router or other.

Because if he lives nextdoor I can simply connect the standard way. Thus I'll have to purchase USB adapters for each VM. --- I wrote Friend and Permission, which means whatever I'll be doing - he's fine with it. --- I use the internet anyway, but I need to use a different IP address from my country as well to double what I'm doing from my own IP address already, which wouldn't be possible if I'm using only my IP address. --- Instead of paying 10x10 euros monthly for new 'packages' from my provider and legally bide with them for the next 2 years, I could pay small fee to 10 friends of mine.
