Travelling VPN issue (same network as my local network)

I have an issue when travelling - I use a wireguard client )on my laptop) to access my local network, but am running into an issue - the network I am on (with the wireguard client) has the same subnet as my local network, so I cannot access devices on my local network.  I do not want to reconfigure my local network - is there a way around this?    I have no problems accessing other local networks with different subnets

  Hi Christian Olgaard, if you're using the Firewalla VPN Server and are okay with changing the subnet for your VPN network, you can update it in your Network Manager. See here: https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004274633-Firewalla-VPN-Server#h_01G12ESAN61SKMXG8TDERH69JF

  Let me know if this helps.

  I think the issue is I am on a local WiFi network (where my laptop logs in) say 10.0.0.0-254 - and my local network is also using 10.0.0.0-255.   I can access a device on 10.1.0.XX but not any device on 10.0.0.XX.  

  It may be what you are suggesting (but not sure what to do them), but I would think you would need a virtual VPN network mapping to the physical home network (or something similar)
