I’ve made a few posts in the past about my experimentation with connecting various devices and servers over a VPN (hub and spoke configuration) as well as my struggles adapting my setup towards a mesh network.
I recently decided to give a mesh setup another go. My service of choice is Nebula. Very easy to grasp the system and get it up and running.
My newest hurdle is now enabling access to the nebula network at the same time as being connected to my VPN service. At least on iOS, you cannot utilize a mesh network and a VPN simultaneously.
TLDR: Is it a bad or a brilliant idea to connect my iOS device to a nebula mesh network to access for example my security camera server, as well as route all traffic/web requests through another nebula host that has a VPN such as mullvad on it so I can use my phone over a VPN connection while still having access to my mesh network servers?
Pretty sure that was home assistant. I had the same issue. Phone would even get piping hot. Killed home assistant, problem solved. I’m connected to VPN to home using openvpn 24/7. Too lazy to switch to wireguard :p
Hmm yeah makes sense, I just can’t do it since then I would need VPN app and home assistant app running 24/7 lol. I need location for home assistant and both appa are too much for my wife’s iPhone. I might tey again but with gpslogger instead of home assistant for location.
