Welcome to our forum Dan.

VPN setup should be a breeze. Which router and OpenWrt version are you using? Which VPN are you trying to connect?

Thank you for the update. VPN server instructions can be accessed from https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/vpn/openvpn/server at your convenience. Similarly, VPN client instructions can be accessed from https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/vpn/openvpn/client at your convenience.

Good luck with your network. Enjoy.

If you want to create a layer 2 bridge between the physical port and server over VPN then you can't use WireGuard or OpenVPN in tun mode directly. You either need to use

  1. OpenVPN in tap mode, or

  2. you need to add a layer 2 tunnel such as GRETAP or VXLAN inside WireGuard or OpenVPN in tun mode.

If it was my own VPN client and server, then I would probably chose WireGuard + GRETAP. (I haven't used that combination of tunnels, but I have used WireGuard + GRE.)

Or if the wiregruard is the more simple option to go it coud be that too
