I employ NordVPN on my server and need to reach my apps from outside the network. When it's active, I encounter issues. If disabled, using my No-Ip host name works fine. The No-Ip updates to NordVPN's IP, yet connection remains problematic. Any possible fixes?

Does your client support a split tunnel feature, and should it exclude your local network?

I believe the app doesn’t support this feature. I was looking for a workaround but couldn’t locate it. Can you explore adding another network card so your home traffic stays on the main NIC while keeping everything else routed through the VPN?

NO-IP functions as a DDNS solution. Accessing your resources via hostname indicates you’ve employed port forwarding or UPNP. When connecting to a VPN, clients must go through it too. A straightforward check involves manually adding a static route to your local network. For example, if your client IP from the VPN is 192.168.11.2 and your home LAN is 192.168.1.0/24, on Windows you can launch CMD as admin and execute: "route add 192.168.1.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 192.168.11.2.... Observe the gateway as the IP of your VPN server."
