Help with VPN

[mitsoux]

Hi guys,
so Im a newbie so please excuse me lol.

I have installed transmission on my as1002t v2 and it all works fine when im on a local network and I also got it working with port forwarding when im out and about.
I have just set up the NAS to go through a OpenVPN connection from ExpressVPN and when I connect I cant access transmission or any other apps (sickbeard, coach potato etc) on my local network on out of it. I can still access the NAS.

Can someone please help me out with this issue

Your purpose (to setup VPN) is to make those apps be able to access only through VPN, isn't it? You just reach your goal...
