I am strugglling at the moment with finalizing my configuration that should work that way:
Outgoing traffic shall run thru Nord-VPN.
But it should be possible to connect to my Router (and LAN) via Wireguard (server).
If I turn off Nord-VPN the Wireguard connection from the clients works well.
If Nord-VPN is on it is not working. As I learned after reading several sites Nord-VPN doesn’t allow port forwarding (which I assume is required for this).
Than I read about split tunneling. Wondering if this is now the right approach?? I installed vpnbypass.
I configured that remote port 51820 (wireguard port) shall not be used by VPN.
I expected that I than can connect via my normal (ISP provided) IP … but this doesn’t work.
Is my constellation not possible or I am missing soemthing??
I have also tried setting this up with both wireguard Client & server. I’m using Mullvad VPN, and opened the port on their website, as well as on my modem.
When Client VPN is active, I also am unable to connect to my wireguard server🤷♂️
@alzhao : Can you maybe give me a hint on how this should look like … I use at the momen the policy for the client to ensure that just some devices use vpn … how would I have to adapt to ensure that I can use my regulär ISP-IP to make in inbound-VPN-connection? Thanks!
When I put automatich mode the wireguard server is OK, but no traffic is routed via the Nord-VPN openvpn client connection → not good.
When I put in customized mode I get the chance to define routing rules but honestly I have no clue what to put in there.
What I want to achieve:
Route outgoing traffic for defined devices via Nord-VPN openvpn client (like in policy mode).
Accept incoming traffic without Nord-VPN (direct with IP of ISP) for wireguard port 51820.
Configuration:
Wireguard Server: IPv4 address: 192.168.1.1/24, Listen Port: 51820, 2 profiles for IP 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3
NordVPN openvpn Client: Standard definition, Client virtual-IP: 10.8.2.4, Port 1194.
In the past I used OpenVPN to connect to my system … there also 192.168.1.1/24 was used. But I couldn’t make OpenVPN server work at all for the moment … therefore switched to Wireguard.
I tested. When using vpn client and server at the same time, the server is accessbile. But after connected, data will not go through because there is no routing setup.
