I'm connected to my WireGurad VPN and but I can access any of the my local devices. 

to be specific im trying to access local GUI of Cameras and Recorders while working remote. 

Do I need to create a certain rule for that?

  Try to ping the device IP first, if you can't ping them, you are not connected to WireGuard.

  If you can ping the device, then likely the device is preventing anything that's not on the LAN to connect. (you are not on the LAN, since you are using VPN).

  When I turn it on and I check my IP I do see that I get the same IP and the site I’m connected to.
  But I can’t ping any local device.

  Under wire guard I set rules:
  Allow Traffic to and from LAN1
  Allow Traffic to and from all devices

  And I still can’t ping or access any local device on a web browser.

  Am I missing something?

  How are you "ping" devices from a web browser?

  You should use the "ping" command

  On my phone I used the fing app and I was able to scan the ports.
  It did show the ports and Firewalla reported that I’m scanning ports.

  Can I change my VPN subnet to have Ip address similar to the LAN?

  You can not change your VPN subnet to the same as your LAN, it will likely break so many things ...

  1. Do you mean you cannot access local devices?
  2. Did you try pinging by IP address?
  3. Did you try pinging by domain.[local domain] ("lan" is the default)

  I do able to ping and access local devices now. Thanks. 

   

  But i cant seem to scan for local devices. 

  I'm using software that can scan and activated devices using multicast. They are not working. Is there a rule i can set that will allow me to use it?

  When you are on VPN, you are "NOT" on your LAN, so you can't multicast and scan devices.
