I’m not sure if this is the right community to ask, but I’m going to try anyway.

So, my Asus Router has smb file server, and vpn server feature, and I have a cctv unit connected to the router as well.

I believe have set up the vpn, port forwarding etc correctly… check the public ip is already the same. But how do I access the smb and my cctv? I’ve tried the local ip (192.168.50.xxx) with no luck, neither is the public ip (which make sense).

Any info or guidance is much appreciated.

    Depends on your specific VPN, but look for a feature or setting called “split tunnel.” It should create a separate non-vpn route for the local network.

    Usually client-side setting, but not always if the tunnel is built on connection.

    If it’s working correctly, it should be as simple as accessing (internal ip) : (port) at (external ip) : (port).

    There are a bunch of things that might be going wrong if it’s not working. Unfortunately, I don’t have the skills to help you diagnose the issue!
