Thanks for the quick review @anav. Wireguard looks promising! I'm sure I'll eventually be able to migrate to that. For now, 2 VLANS need to get shoved through a VPN to my cottage somehow.

Will it take more than 1 VPN? perhaps 1 VPN per VLAN? I'm just trying to conceptualise this.

Alright, I have done what you said wrt naming on BOTH devices. I meant to change that a bit sooner, but I forgot to.
