well it's sort of by design for it to work that way


a vpn Virtual private network - Wikipedia

makes tunnel across the internet making your device present on the network that the vpn server is connected to,

where all devices not setup to use vpn would be present on your local network


the purpose of vpn is say when I work from home but still need to be present on the network at my job to access work stuff
