Advanced VPN Configuration

VPN
1

My current VPN client and server configuration is:

VPN Server>Home VPN>WireGuard Protocol (used to access console and other local devices).

VPN Client>NordVPN>OpenVPN Client (used to give all devices at home a secure setup).

When connecting to VPN Client remotely, I get my ISP’s public IP. When connected to VPN Server locally, I get NordVPN’s public IP.

A. How can I connect my VPN server TO my VPN client so I can just connect to my VPN server remotely to have access to BOTH local devices and a secure connection over the VPN client at the same time?

B. Is there anyway to use a domain for my VPN client connection? I.E. instead of my VPN connection being my public IP address, I want to add a DNS record to my public domain so I can use remote.mydomain.com

For A, I have an idea which requires you to have a NAS or something running in your local network. You can setup a vpn server on that NAS, port forward on UDM so it’s publicly accessible. From that point this acts as the new vpn server which you can use to access local devices.
And since this vpn server is just a regular device inside your network, the out going traffic will go through your NordVPN stuff

Only if this is possible and you can just do it very easy https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubiquiti/s/oi1puE8QIQ

Use Tailscale to connect to your local devices. If one of those can act as an exit node, you can route that traffic to your Nord VPN.

Same problem - did you find a solution for A)?

Interesting concept, and NordVPN basically has this built in already called MeshNet but I’m trying to avoid using more apps. I just want to connect to my home VPN which then connects me to my local devices and changes my public IP.

Your VPN Server is your exit node. I’m not aware of a native feature that would route that traffic to another server.

So I have Tailscale on my phone and it’s VPN connection up. How would I make it so I can access my UDM Pro via local IP for example?
