Whenever I try to understand how to configure OpenVPN I rapidly get
lost.

Presumably I'd run the remote Pi (the one on the boat in France) as a
VPN client and have the VPN server running on my home LAN somewhere.
I have two Pis already on my home LAN, one of them is a Pi 4, would
that be OK to run Open VPN server?

Does an Open VPN server play nicely with an existing LAN whose DNS and
DHCP is provided by (yet) another Pi on the LAN?  I.e. does everything
else work as before locally with just the addition of the remote
system so that it adds itself to the existing LAN?
