I use the Ubiquiti UDM router for it's enhanced network options.
I also use the onboard Teleport VPN (I believe built upon the newer Wireguard VPN service) that is built into the Ubiquiti UDM which I set up as 192.168.4.xxx network.
When I am in my local LAN at home, I do not use the VPN. My smartphone autoconnects to the primary LAN IP of 192.168.1.xxx
When I am mobile while driving or grocery shoppping, I am on the cellular network and my Teleport VPN works great.
However, when I am at work WiFi, the VPN gets....angry at me or something and doesn't like to connect. We also use 192.168.1.xxx at work.
Maybe this is my confusion about using local LAN VPN server. Or maybe it's an Ubiquiti Teleport way of doing things. When on cellular network, I check my UDM client list and my smartphone's IP address is not 192.168.4.xxx of the VPN network subnet but rather 192.168.1.xxx of the main subnet. I assume, when outside of local network on someone's local WiFi (starbucks, my work, other people's work office), it's a possible IP network conflict because both local and work WiFi networks could be using the same 192.168.1.xxx
I do not understand why the smartphone always lands on the 192.168.1.xxx instead of the VPN subnet of 192.168.4.xxx
Is this just how VPN works?
If so...what is the resolution? Change my IP address range at home to 10.10.xxx.xxx ?
Trying to remember what customers do when using VPN at work with remote locations. They do use increasing numerical values for every site. Example: main=192.168.10.xxx while remote1=192.168.20.xxx and remote 2=192.168.30.xxx
