Is it possible to have VPN for example on OceanCloud or AWS and make it work as local VPN?

I have 3 security cameras on 3 different lacations which doesn't have public IP adresses and one NAS server on different location too, client is somewhere else also. Is there a possible way to connect all of these to "LAN"?

It would be easy if the camera was on LAN with VPN but i have no idea how would this behave on cloud.

Thank you for answers.

EDIT : I added diagram, for better understanding, how I imagine it to work. https://i.stack.imgur.com/Uw4pD.jpg

It would require a vpn-client at each site, which acts as (vpn) router. Maybe if your IP-camera supports VPN' (don't know any which do). Otherwise you'd need a server/router on each site (a Raspberry Pi is more than sufficient).

Learn how networking works. And read the OpenVPN Howto, which is nicely written in my opinion. First try to 'tun' each location. Afterwards add routing to the LAN segments. Use route .. (in the openvpn server.conf) to make OpenVPN accept the traffic, and push "route .." so the client knows where to find each camera.

I don't want to depend inward (NAT) routing, so my VPN-servers are located in the Cloud. I'm using 4 servers (VPS') at different datacenters. Each client has 4 VPN's (and bird), which gives me ECMP routing between all clients.

On my LAN segment sit a few devices, none of them serves services on the LAN and they only accept traffic from the VPN. It might be a bit overkill, but this way I don't depend static IP's (can very easily switch from ISP).
