Hi might be a bit too techy for here but ive posted elsewhere and got no reply
Currently hosting my lightroom raw files on my NAS and looking for a way to access remotely.... so set up openvpn and tailscale. Both work perfectly remotely and all good on that score
I just have a question about going through open VPN on my Local network (LAN) as apposed to remotely (WAN).
How does openvpn work when I am physically sitting next to my computer?
Currently I have my lightroom raw files set up as a mapped network drive in windows pointing to the VPN. So in theory when remote it goes:
My PC --> through internet to my DDNS --> through VPN on my NAS --> to NAS share with lightroom raw files
My question is - what is the routing when on the same local network?
Obviously the most efficient and quickest way to access these files locally is My PC - -> windows SMB/ Wifi to router --> into NAS -> NAS share with lightroom raw files
Is openVPN clever enough to do this?
OR
Does it still go via the DDNS and WAN? I.e putting the data transfer through the VPN?
