Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/728

Operating Systems

Server/Client: Ubuntu 18.04 or Manjaro 20.01 or Windows 10

Is there any suggestion for using barrier over VPN? I lost control immediately after turning the VPN on.
I saw this post about Synergy over VPN, but I am not sure how applicable it is.

You need to still have routing to LAN available. I suspect your VPN solution redirects all network traffic through the VPN.

Barrier works through a VPN that only affects certain network subnets just fine, I'm using it regularly this way.

I use successfully an ssh tunnel.
ssh -g -C -T -p 22 -L 24800:my_barrier_server_local_network_ip:24800 user@my_server_external_ip
On Windows you can use PuTTY.
