Model: Deco BE85  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I've set up a VPN Server on Deco BE85 and from outside the network, I want to connect via VPN to see devices (NAS and printer) on the local network. 

I realised that the IP address via VPN is different from the IP address within the local network. 

I tried changing the VPN settings to change the IP address to be on the same subnet but the error prevents me from doing so.

Hi, welcome to the community.

There is no need to set the VPN client range to be the same as the LAN IP range. There is a default routing table that allows the VPN clients to communicate with the local network devices.

Thank you very much.

Best regards.
