Hello,

I want to reach a device on my home network by first establishing a connection to the router's VPN. Since the ISP is only giving me dynamic IP address, I set up Dyanmic DNS using my new TP-Link router.

I generated the cert, exported the config, enable Open VPN, imported the config file to my client and managed to join without any issues, BUT only using the IP address that was entered into the config file - which is the same IP address that I see on the Network Tab (see red rectangle on the picture).

However, when I check with nslookup what the dynamic dns address resolves to, it's a different address. nslookup gives me the same address that whatismyip gives when I visit it from my computer.

I did try replacing the IP address in the open vpn config file with the dynamic dns address, and of course it didn't work (it resolves to a different IP).

Based on this, what I would need, for the VPN to work, is to have the Dynamic DNS return that address, that I see under the red rectangle.

Is my approach wrong somehow? How could I resolve this?

BR,

thilonel
