Remote access vpn (Openvpn)
I am interested in Firewalla Gold. My main use case is remote access vpn. Can i create multiple vpn profiles? For profile one, i want to route all traffic through my internet connection where Firewalla protects. But, i do not want to give access to my local network.
For profile two, everything in profile one plus grant access to all my local networks.
I follow the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edoRRBGTja0
another question is ... do i have to use firewalla app to log in. What if i do not have phone and i only have internet access. Can i simply provide user credentials to log in without generating code from the phone?
I just want to ensure the product works for my needs.
Thanks.

Only the wireguard server supports multiple profiles, and each profile is a virtual device, which you can apply rules to. See https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500004087521-WireGuard-VPN-Server-

Thank you for your reply.
I find the VPN setup very easy. However, i am not sure how i can set up the way it meets my specific needs. Can you share me some guides on how to achieve my two main goals.
1. One vpn profile that allows only internet access. For example, i connect the firewalla vpn outside of US on my vacation, I just want my ecncrypted traffic going through firewalla yet can not see my other local networks at my home in US.
2. Second profile is i want access to my pc or nas (which are on my local networks) along with internet traffics over the vpn tunnel through firewalla while i am outside of us.
I want to know how i can configure and achieve my needs.
Thank you.

Have you looked at https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408644783123-Building-Network-Segments
What you are trying to do is segment the VPN network with the rest of your network. You can apply some of the technics above. Also this https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/360008521833-Manage-Rules
