Re: VPN On Second Router

A general advice when dealing with VPN: You should not use a common subnet like 192.168.1.0/24. This is probably the most used subnet in the world. As soon as you want to connect to your home VPN from somewhere else (e.g. hotel)  where the same subnet is used, you won't be able to connect to devices in your home LAN as both the local (hotel) and the remote LAN (home) have identical IP addresses and your laptop/smartphone will prefer local connections.

 

172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255

192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255

 

That are IP ranges reserved for private use. You could change your local network to some less common subnet like 172.19.23.0/24 or whatever you like. Just NOT 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.2.255 as thats the default setting of maybe 98% of all routers in the world 😉
