I’m trying to setup my VPN and I’m a bit confused here.
I have a commercial VPN subscription that I’m using on my phone and laptop. Now I’ve set up WireGuard on my OpenWRT router to access my home network remotely. I can connect to it from my phone but from what I see there’s no way to have both commercial VPN and my local network WG active at the same time (both are using WG so I’m trying to create WG config with two peers but I don’t think it’s possible).
So what do people actually do? From what I see I have 3 options:
- Don’t use commercial VPN on my phone, only use WG to access my network
- Switch between VPNs manually whenever I want to access my network
- Setup commercial VPN on my router, move all my networks traffic through this VPN and move all traffic from my phone through my home network.
Am I missing something? What’s the typical approach here? I thought that what I’m trying to do is basic scenario but it looks like it’s not that simple if at all possible.
I create an work profile in my android phone with Insular app from f-Droid (but there is alternatives from Google play too). And connect tailscale to home server there and put all necessary app here too. Basic profile has commercial VPN with split tunneling per app.
But I check threads and there are better alternatives.
Netmaker looks really nice. Has the lowest requirement, self-hosted and open-source. I will give it a shot but if the setup is too complicated I will just go with separate profile and wireguard.
