FWG VPN Server - Can Surf from Client But Cannot See/Access Home Network Devices

Hello All,

I can remotely connect to my FWG VPN Server and surf without any issues; however, I cannot access or view any devices on my home network.  I noticed the VPN Server uses a different IP range than my home network but I don't see anywhere I can change it.

The instructions reference something about "Manual Install" but I don't actually see that anywhere.  As I recall VPN servers, in general, must assign a compatible IP range to remotely-connecting devices.

Am I missing something in the setup?  Thank you.

  Firewalla VPN runs on a network that's adjacent to your home network.

  The best way to access your home devices is to use the "local domain name"; you can find that or change it at

  tap on devices->[find your device]-> look for local domain

  Or you can just use their raw IP address.

  Thank you for your reply.  Hmm...

  "local domain name"...here's what I see at the device level (a camera I'm trying to remotely view):

  As seen from my iPhone via a cellular connection (not wi-fi) via FWG VPN Server:

  

  If "local domain name" means "beecam.lan", then I still do not see the login screen (via a browser) to my camera.  I've also tried using the direct IP address 10.0.1.160 without success.

  What am I not understanding about this?  Thank you.
