Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I lose access to my local networks with a Unifi Dream Machine (UDM) OpenVPN connection?
The Unifi Dream Machine (UDM) configures OpenVPN by default with the topology "Host to all networks".
This means that the entire network traffic, including your internet traffic, is redirected to the VPN tunnel.
This can happen that you no longer have access to devices or services in your local network-because all data traffic runs via the VPN connection to the UDM.
Solution:
If you only want to access the distant network (e.g. in the office) and at the same time want to continue using your local network, simply change the topology setting:
Select the affected connection in VPN Tracker
Click on "Edit".
Change the topology from "Host to all networks" to "Host to Network".
Save the connection.
The next time you establish a connection, your remote networks will be automatically accessible.
