Would like to start and thank u Merlin for this software.
How can i try out my OPENVPN solution from inside (LANwise)
Can i loopback the NAT r something.

The NAT loopback might have trouble dealing with a VPN tunnel. Best way to test it is definitely from outside your network.

If you don't mind reconfiguring your network, you could also unplug the modem, plug a computer in its place, set the router WAN to a static IP (192.168.64.1) and the computer on 192.168.64.2, and try connecting to the VPN using the .1 IP.
