Home VPN

Hello,

I have set up VPN on my Mikrotek router board. I can connect to my home network from iPhone. I am able to open control panels for devices in the network from the browser. But if I use app instead, then it never loads. What might be the problem and where should I look?

???App???

What app?
Apps are designed to access your device via the cloud, not a direct internet connection.
Suggest if the app is capable of doing that, then its in the settings of the app somewhere.

Maybe Mikrotik app ?
Then your VPN needs to be active (since I will assume everybody is smart enough not to open that passage directly via internet).

Does your name start with V?
What is the point of guessing as the OP has the real answers…
