Access your home's local network

Access your home local network from Nomadeos

Objective: From Nomadeos Client (abroad), access devices on your home local network (behind the router) via Nomadeos Server.

local network home IP

Prerequisites

  • A Nomadeos Server plugged in at your home (in France)
  • An active Nomadeos Client.
  • Connection to the Server from a PC/smartphone (Wi-Fi or Ethernet).
  • Connection to the Client from a PC/smartphone (Wi-Fi or Ethernet).

1) Enable LAN access on the Nomadeos Server

Allow traffic to the local area network (LAN) behind the server.

Open the VPN Dashboard (Server)

Connect to the Nomadeos Server Wi-Fi, then to the Nomadeos Server interface (via http://192.168.8.1) and go to VPN → VPN Dashboard.

Enable Allow remote access LAN

On your WireGuard Server line, click the ⚙︎ icon, then enable Allow remote access LAN. (Save/Apply)

 


Enable the home LAN access option.

2) Add a static route on the Nomadeos Client (LuCI)

Goal: Indicate that the home subnet (e.g., 192.168.1.0/24) is reachable via the wgclient interface.

Open LuCI (Client)

Connect to the Nomadeos Client Wi-Fi this time. From the Nomadeos Client (192.168.8.1) interface: System → Advanced Settings → Go to LuCI (default password Nomadeos2025! if not changed).


Accessing the Client's LuCI interface.
Create the static route

In LuCI: Network → Routing → Static routes

Click Add,

 

then enter:

  • Target: the CIDR of the home local network (example: 192.168.1.0/24)
  • Gateway: leave blank
  • Interface: wgclient
  • Route type: unicast

Finish by Save then Save & Apply.

3) Test access to home devices

Ping a local device

From your PC connected to the Nomadeos Client, open a terminal and test:

ping 192.168.1.254 (e.g., router) or ping 192.168.1.80 (e.g., NAS/PC) — adapt according to your addressing plan.

Successful ping to a device on the home LAN.

Quick troubleshooting

  • Ping KO: Check that Allow remote access LAN is enabled on the Server side and that the static route is correct on the Client side (exact CIDR).
  • Subnet conflict: If the Client LAN and the home LAN have the same range (e.g., 192.168.1.0/24 on both sides), change the Client LAN (e.g., 192.168.8.0/24) to avoid overlap.

Quick summary

  1. On the Server: Enable Allow remote access LAN in the VPN Dashboard.
  2. On the Client (LuCI): Static routes → Target 192.168.1.0/24 (adapt as needed), Gateway blank, Interface wgclient, Type unicast.
  3. Test: ping to local home IPs.
