Access local services when using VPN (AirVPN)

Hey guys,

I have some services running on home server (not exposed) and I also have AirVPN subscription. I'm trying to use AirVPN (for browsing) on my PC running POP OS with their app called Eddie, but once I connect to VPN server I cant reach my local services using custom DNS records. So I have to type http://IP:PORT or disable VPN to access it.

I have pihole with custom DNS Records that points to NPM on the same host.

I understand that VPN cant resolve my local DNS, but is there any solution to use both at the same time?

Edit: I do have static local IP set with custom DNS (server IP)

  • There is an option within Eddie to enable local access, did you check the box? Or are you not using Eddie?

    • I did try that, didn't work. But your post made me check again and I figured there is also settings button and I disabled DNS Switch mode and its perfect now. Thank you
