A bit like how I had always understood hacking to mean doing ingenious
things with a bit of kit to make it do what you want, whereas many
people use the term to mean breaking into remote systems.

Ignore if you have already covered off these thoughts in your earlier
posts:
Have you actually got remote access to LMS working when you use the
router's VPN server, without its VPN client running ?
Do you actually need to run the VPN Client on your router ?

I've never used a VPN equipped router, and I've never sought to access
my local LMS through VPN, so I don't have anything helpful to offer.

Remark:
The last time I looked, Apple's iOS limits the openVPN client to using a
"TUN" approach, so a "TAP" based approach would not work for an iOS
client.

I recall a deal of fiddling around with networking, including having the
TUN server allocate addresses to its clients on a separate 10.8.0.x
subnet, setting up the server to do NAT and ip forwarding onto the
'real' local network (192.168.1.x), pushing a DHCP option to point to
the local DNS server (192.168.1.something), some additional fiddling
with IPV6, etc. I suppose that much of this would be dealt with in the
router's VPN client set up.
