It gets fairly complex, but - in the Raspberry, I used SER2NET, and connect the serial port of the Raspberry to the telemetry port of the PixHawk. I plug a VERIZON 4G/LTE "dongle" into the USB port of the Raspberry. In the Raspberry, I use WVDIAL, pppd and AUTOSSH to make the connection to an Amazon ec2 server via the 4G link..
The Amazon server is running a reverse SSH tunnel.
On the ground side, I have another 4G/LTE "dongle" plugged into my laptop (but you could use a 'hot spot'), I then set up Mission Planner to use a tcp connection to the Amazon ec2 server using only the
Amazon server's name and the appropriate port number.
The connection from the 'copter' to the Amazon server is secure, but the connection from that Amazon server to my laptop is not. I'll change that soon. I'll use another Raspberry on the ground to create a secure connection to the Amazon server and connect the Raspberry to my laptop via USB. I need a Raspberry on the ground anyway, because I have designed a "failover" system and PCB which seamlessly switches between 4G and 915Mhz telemetry on both ends. Both ends (air and ground) transmit simultaneously on 4G and 915Mhz. Both ends pick which source is best at any time and use that source. Mission Planner cannot switch between two sources of telemetry/control, but the Raspberry can. The Raspberry picks between validated sources and sends data to MP using one connection method and one data rate.
