I have a desktop computer in my home that I run different services on (SSH, Jellyfin, Transmission, etc). I have an ASUS router that gives me a domain (example.asuscomm.com) and I have port forwarding set up. I use this domain to access the services running on the computer. This setup all works perfectly fine, except when I connect the computer to NordVPN. I know that connecting to NordVPN changes the public IP of the computer, but I cannot access the services on the computer through this IP. I think that something is wrong with the port forwarding, because I am able to ping the computer when it is connected to NordVPN.
one of more easy solution is use zerotier creating a virtual lan. Work for me and work also with wake on lan and remote access (of course you need a dns)
Yeah, I have my local subnet whitelisted:
$ nordvpn settings
A new version of NordVPN is available! Please update the application.

what does “enabling meshnet on my device” entail? Do I have install something on every device that would connect to my server? I don’t think that would be possible on some devices, like my Roku.
