Topic: Port forwarding stops working when router connects to OpenVPN

The content of this topic has been archived on 23 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

I've followed guide to connect router as OpenVPN client to NordVPN and it works. However I have public static IPv4 address on which I'm running web server on local NAS server, so I forward HTTP/S ports there. But once router establishes VPN tunnel, this forwarding stops working and web server becomes inaccessible through my public IP. I'd like these incoming ports to stay outside VPN and remain available the same as if router wasn't connecting to VPN at all. Any ideas?
