No internet access when connected to OpenVPN

Hi all,
I have a Client-to-Site VPN with OpenVPN running on my TL-R605. This works perfectly fine on my iPhone, however I can only connect to local devices. Access to the internet is not working and that is annoying since I have to disconnect from the VPN to access internet resources.
I read the documentation but nothing is mentioned regarding additional configuration to access the internet.
How I configured the VPN:

Hello @beepi,
I saw you set the Local Network as 0.0.0.0/24, can the VPN clients normally access the LAN side of the router (OpenVPN server)?
If you change the Local Network to the specific interface of your router, and keep the Full mode disabled, can it work?

To your first question, yes they do. It would basically allow them to access all interfaces with no restrictions.
To your second question, yes, it would work.
But my issue is different, I would like to run non-"Full mode" (known as Split tunnel), but when I do so, VPN clients can no longer access the internet (not via the router, but via their physical interface)

@Hank21 OC200 v1 running 5.9.32
ER505v1 running 1.2.3
There is no option to select tunneling mode in VPN setup. It just defaults to split tunnel and there's nothing which can be done.

Hello @MauriceGee,
You may try using the Private/Incognito Windows to open it.
And you may try clearing the cache and history data could be helpful either.

@Hank21 does the full mode VPN require the controller to be online?

@joeri1 Hi all guys, I need your help I've been going crazy for days.
I configured the vpn through the cloud controller on my ER605 router and when I connect from the pc everything works perfectly both the vpn network and the internet, but when I connect from my iphone with the OPENVPN app the local network works but the internet doesn't work anymore .
In the settings I also tried to set the mode to split or full but it doesn't change, on my iphone the internet doesn't work as soon as I connect to the openvpn.
The app I use has the latest update and my router is updated to the latest version 2.1.2. Can you help me?
I am attaching the settings screen, thank you very much!!
