Hi all.
Messing around upgrading my internet at home: My router able to function as a VPN server.
Now, I've never used any sort of VPN. I understand the rough idea of a VAPN, but not the reality. Being able to access my network at times would be nice.
SO basically I understand, I turn the VPN server on: and then configure access to it from my client.
So, lets say I put a VPN client on my mobile phone: Great I can now access my nextcloud/smb servers from anywhere.
But what about when I'm not accessing my network: Does all my traffic still get routed back to my home network, then out to the internet? Do I need to turn the client on/off when and as needed?
