Own safe VPN service GL-AR750S-Ext

I have bought a GL-AR750S-Ext router for on the road, but I am thinking to use the router to make my own VPN service for my ipad/iphone on holidays. Is it possible to connect the AR750 behind a cable router (by port forwarding) and connect my ipad/iphone by wireguard vpn to my home. And use this for safe internet on public hotspots and to connect to my camera’s at home (by VPN tunnel).

Cable Router → WAN RJ45 AR750

I got it some sort of working with this post.

So you can configure port forwarding. If you don’t configure port forwarding, even if you set a static IP address to 750M, it doesn’t work as well. because it doesn’t have dedicated public IP address.

Butt can not connect to the local lan, only to the internet.

Does your iphone/ipad show the VPN connected? I tested your setup and the local lan can be accessed.

Yes my phone show connected, and i can go to browse the internet from my phone. But i am not able to connect to the local devices in the LAN. Also when i am connected i get the WAN IP on the phone from my home connection. How did you setup the router.

I export wireguard client config on ar750s to use on mt300n-v2, with peer address modifed to router WAN ip, and setup port forward on router.
