I really wish there were detailed, updated instructions on how to access
via VPN or SSH tunnel.

I spent days reading (the wrong) instructions, finally managed to set up
a VPN server on my Asus router that exports a .ovpn file that you then
import into e.g. the Android OpenVPN Connect app. This way, I can access
e.g. from 4G mobile network my IP addresses at my home network.

However, all my equipment are also VPN clients, of
privateinternetaccess.com, that encrypts traffic for ISP, provides
geolocation etc. 

The Asus router has functionality for running both a VPN server and
being a VPN client at the same time, but I could never get it to work in
spite of lots of research - instructions are often outdated, based on
old firmwares, depend on which router you have etc. 

In the LAN - DHCP server config page of my Asus Merlin router, now when
I currently have the VPN server running, it says "* In conflict with the
VPN server settings:192.168.1.2-31". Which is weird because I have not
specified that address range for my VPN server, see below.

So I think I've got to the point where I've narrowed down the problem to
something to do with subnets ? Like some routers follow the 192.168.1.X
scheme, others the 10.0.0.1 or whatever it is. The VPN server on the
router now has, after I followed yet another set of instructions, the
"VPN Subnet / Netmask" listed as the 10.0.0.1 system - which, as far as
I've read, avoid conflicts with the 192.168.1.X system the router itself
follows, yet at the same time allows clients connected to the router VPN
server to communicate with those on the other subnet - otherwise it
would be pointless, wouldn't it. Any pointers about this ? Surely there
is someone here with an Asus router with Merlin software that has done
this before, especially since everyone keeps saying "use a VPN for LMS"
?

Didn't know an SSH tunnel also was an option. Any suggested links for
reading into that in a way that would be relevant for how I should set
it up to securely access LMS remotely ? 

I strongly encourage the honourable "people in charge" of this forum and
the LMS documentation etc. to provide instructions on the site on how to
set up secure, remote LMS access.

Thank you very much for your help.
