Community for discussing enterprise networks and the ensuing chaos that comes after inheriting or building one.

Well I would create 2 networks in your OpenWRT, Net1 would be tunneled over the VPN and Net2 will break out locally.
On Net1 you basically keep what you have.
Then you assign the NC Server to Net2. You can even create a SSID for this network (call it Guest or whatever) for when somebody needs your WiFi. Or if you want to connect a device you don’t care sending outside the VPN.
Afterwards you can go and turn off the WLAN in your Fritzbox. The telephone will continue working over DECT most likely.
You will probably also need to “expose” the OpenWRT on your Fritzbox. What this does is forward all traffic, unfiltered, to your OpenWRT. You need to do your own research to see if you want to do this, otherwise just forward porta as you need them.
Two networks on the OpenWRT is a really good idea, thank you! With the next free weekend and some duckduckgoing I should be able to implement this.
