we all  have that "special moment" when you just want the ground to swallow you up! I have many such moments :D

Ok so there are tons of unnamed devices in my VPN list and I can not see what devices they are, there is simply no way of determining what device it is. How do I name a device?

I cant name them in Safari for sure

 

You should be able to name them in Safari. Go to Device Manager, press edit at the top then change the device names there.

Now I see it it’s the little Box beside general on the left side. You just cant read what you enter. Cmon guys no one reported this?

Could be your phone. I had problems on. Mine. Only chrome worked on Android. Windows is fire fox. No problems. Did notice some browsers handle the os different. Maybe safari you can't edit? Never tried. Maybe someone will iPhone would be better help

Nope, don't think I've seen that before. My guess is one of your devices has lots of IP addresses listed that had made the box small. If that is the case - rebooting the router will fix this.

turn off every single device, start 1 then name it and fix it's ip address in dhcp table, rinse and repeat til they are all named

and it looks like your web page is zoomed in too much, go into view options in safari menu bar and zoom it out, then you can rename.

OK I completely misunderstood virtual private networking here. In fact I think the name is misleading. I had a long talk with ExpressVPN. The Service is brutally fast I get 25ms of ping and 10Mbit per second down. 

Now I wanted to tunnel my iphone through their services to have the phone in my home network all time so I don't need to open ports on my router. Its nice to access the whole home network from within with the actual Ip adresses. Now this is not what a VPN offers. I would not connect to my network but to theirs so no tunneling. 

 

So to have my own VPN I still have to set up my mac server VPN. 

 

Well I get it now.

 

Interestingly they said if my router would have feature of Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol with IPSec (L2TP/IPSec) , then I could do the trick over their Service. Would that be something Netduma could do? Would it be useful in any way?

The VPN on the Netduma is a VPN client. To do what you want to do you need a VPN server. I'm sure this will be added at some point as others have requested it before.
