Sorry if I am not using some of the correct terms. I tried searching for a solution for this issue but I cannot find one so I am posting this to try to figure out what I am missing.
I am currently stationed in japan, I have two networks in my house one local and one for VPN. Router 1 is the local network and Router 2 (behind router 1) is the VPN. Router 2 VPN is allways on and connected to VPN but is only used occasionally for wireless clients in the event that a U.S. website blocks access from other countries.
I can remote access all of my computers and devices via port forwarding that are connected to router 1 from my phone and my other devices connected to cellular networks, I will assume that other wifi and wired networks will also work for remoting accessing of my computers (I have no easy way of testing that) i have nothing behind router 2 that I need or want to access.
My problem: I am trying to use router 2's VPN connection to remote access clients on router 1 so I do not have to use my phone to test forwarding other settings and configurations etc. when I use the exact same url and port numbers on the client connected to the VPN router that I put into the phone it does not work it comes back saying it lost connection to the server.
i am not completely sure why this is happening but I believe it has something to do with the VPN and normal network traffic going through router 1 and the VPN information getting lost in the process but I cannot find anything showing how to fix this issue.
