This won’t work anyway.
VPN isn’t like magic hole punching. It won’t work because the traffic will flow through different networks until it reaches the destination.
That would be my setting:
The Flint can use a VPN for Internet connection and a VPN server at the same time.
Important for VPN is that there is at least one partner which can be reached by direct connection - in that case, it would be the flint.
If all is too difficult, you can just stick with https://www.zerotier.com/ which is way more easy and as secure as VPN.

There are various possibilities. But you need to have very good network knowledge and the right hardware. Go with ZeroTier instead, it’s easier and doesn’t care about ISP routers or firewalls. At least not on consumer level.

ZeroTier works a bit different from VPN. You will have a more or less steep learning curve
Most easy: All devices you want to reach use ZeroTier - then you don’t need any routing. All devices are auto-magically connected to each other by its ZeroTier IP. That’s why it’s pretty easy and suitable for beginners.
If you want to use routes:

Connect the Flint to ZeroTier
Create a route for your home network and using the ZeroTier IP of the Flint as Gateway
Install ZeroTier on your PC you want to use in Hotel

Right F**K thid then ill use zero tier, if i connect my phone now to one router and vpn into it via flint ,
can i assume that i cxan take it offsite an connect to it and drag my ip adress of my nas into the same zone allowign comunication, via the router ,
Barin in mind, I want all my internet traffic to be via my isp , not via the offsite location
this is why i bought two boxes,
my assumption was that if i connect in client mode on a router, that im there and not at home ,

is this a split tunnel scenario,
all traffic but the one device is unaffected?

Not sure what you mean here, but it works like this:
Device A gets ZeroTier IP 10.0.10.25 (native IP 192.168.0.17)
Device B gets ZeroTier IP 10.0.10.45 (native IP 192.168.0.52)
You then use the ZeroTier IPs to connect between the devices. Instead of using 192.168.0.52 to connect to B, you will simply use 10.0.10.45

Yep. I used it to watch movies from my NAS while I stayed with friends.
But, important: If your NAS does not support ZeroTier (depends on the NAS) you have to go with routing mode as described here: https://zerotier.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SD/pages/224395274/Route+between+ZeroTier+and+Physical+Networks
Just try it out

so i can have one on either side then, a client on one lan at home
and server offsite
or does the lan assigment have to happen on flint,
I want flint or whatever device to sllow both nas onsite and offsite to be able to see each other for offsite backup
i have 20tb storage on both sides

As long as all devices can reach each other by ZeroTier they will be able to … reach each others
I am not sure if the Shadow can use ZeroTier out of the box. If not, it might be smart to use a Flint as well - more comfy.
Just read the ZeroTier docs and try it out. You can’t break anything - at least not with just using ZeroTier.

Oh thank you so much for everything i will update on how it does legendary you and lupus

In luci turn off the authoritive dhcp and then it might allow you to assign the lan pool to the same subnet… Not 100% on that. It’s just a guess.
