Hi
I cannot access my IP cameras and some other services hosted on my LAN, by using their WAN IP or Domain address, from within side the LAN.
I have an Asus RT-AC86U router with Merlin Firmware version 384.14_2
If I use their local LAN IP addresses instead I can access them OK.
Any way to fix this ?
Thanks
EDIT: Actually this only seems to be the case when my OpenVPN client is connected on the router.
If I drop the VPN tunnel then I can access those services using either the WAN IP or Domain name address OK.
If my phone is remote only on 4G for example and the routers VPN tunnel is up, I can access the IP cameras OK.
But if the phone is only connected to the routers WIFI and the routers VPN tunnel is up, then I can no longer access the IP cameras.
EDIT 2:
If I exclude an IP camera from the OpenVPN client tunnel using policy rules and then use my Asus routers DDNS domain address to access the camera, it then works both when my phone is only connected to the LAN WIFI or only connected to the 4G mobile data.
So its certainly the VPN connection on the router that it doesn't work with.
