VPN Server - Local Network vs Internet and Local Network?

[Kashif Tasneem]

Hi. I recently setup VPN server (Open VPN) on my Asus GT AX-11000 router to access it remotely. Problem is that I can only access it when I have checked "Internet and Local Network". According to my understanding, it redirects all of my Internet traffic through the ISP of my router.

But I want to access only my LAN devices remotely without rerouting everything from internet as well. When I check "Local Network", I am unable to connect to my router and other LAN devices.

Is my understanding correct? Is there anything I can do to fix it?

I know this is an old post, but did you ever figure out how to access your router and devices via OVPN without setting it to go through local and internet.
