OpenVPN client on edgerouter for management purpose

$

Hi,

 

As portforwarding sometimes fails at client locations we are not always able to manage the edgerouter from remote.

 

I have set up an ubuntu box at the office running openvpn. I installed the client on a remote edgerouter using following commands

 

configure
set interfaces openvpn vtun0 config-file /config/vpn-client1.ovpn
commit
save
exit

 

The edgerouter was connected to the vpn server and it all seemed well. However after several minutes i lost connection to the edgerouter.

 

I went to the location. The local lan didn't have any internet connectivity anymore. I logged in to the edgerouter and disabled the vtun0 interfaces. I saw several static routes dissappear and the internet access was working egain.

 

How can I exclude the local lan from the vpn connection. I only need to acces the gui and ssh through the vpn.

There is no ip conflict. all subnets are different.

 

Thanks
