Having a static IP address does make things easier.
Your VPN server will need to be configured to handle both local traffic (to access your local services) and external traffic (to access the internet). The server should have a rule that sends all local traffic (destined for your home network) directly to the local network, bypassing the VPN tunnel. External traffic should be sent through the VPN tunnel, and from there it will be routed via your ProtonVPN connection. This way, when your phone connects to your VPN server, it can access local services directly and any external requests it makes will be routed through ProtonVPN.
