Hi,

I set up wireguard on my home PC to allow my android phones to connect to the home network and access my local apps like immich and jellyfin.

The VPN itself works great when I'm outside the wifi network. But, if I have the VPN on while i'm connected to my local wifi, it basically kills internet access for my phone. Not sure exactly why this is, as i would expect requests to still be sent out to the internet and come back around. But every request just times out.

Is there any way to configure Wireguard to permit this? I want to keep my android VPN service on at all times, instead of having to toggle it off when I'm at home. Or perhaps is there a way to configure Android to toggle the VPN correctly when I'm in/out of network?

Thanks!
