L2TP VPN - Can't reach other devices on the LAN unless NAT is switched off

When I connect to my remote access L2TP VPN, the VPN range has NAT performed on it as it should. However, I noticed that I could not get out to the internet or to other devices on the LAN while connected to the VPN.

I then removed the NAT config and connected back to the VPN and while I still couldn’t get out to the internet (as expected) I could now get to other devices on the LAN…

Proxy-ARP is enabled on the LAN facing interface and the interface that has the VPN range configured. I saw someone mention that they configured their VPN range on a standard bridge and apparently this allowed them to then get out to the internet but this doesn’t seem to be the case for me.

could you provide some config of your set up?

show configuration commands | strip-private

There is quite a bit of config, is there any particular section you would like to check?

probably start with the nat , firewall forwarding, can you let us know what version you are running?
