It's just that simple. Think of it like a wire in the sky, it's a point to point wifi link.

Most likely, yes they are. A lot of ISPs deprioritize all traffic they can’t identify with their QoS.

I was going to say something about CPU usage on your router when it comes to VPN but that is usually more of an issue when it comes to a VPN client on the router itself.
No joke you should probably ask in r/homelab or r/homenetworking over on reddit. There are some super geniuses there on this topic.

Depends on how the VPN is setup. Just learning JunOS but with Cisco ASA/VPNs, they can be set up for split tunneling (meaning only traffic that needs to be encrypted goes thru the tunnel). JunOS has an equivalent. But yes the NAT rules do dictate where that traffic will go. Have you looked at them yet?

Sorry for the late reply.
In the end I got this
Amazon.com: TP-Link CPE210 2.4GHz 300Mbps 9dBi High Power Outdoor CPE/Access Point, 2.4GHz 300Mbps, 802.11b/g/n, dual-polarized 9dBi directional antenna, Passive POE (CPE210): Computers & Accessories
put it in the garage which is back to back with the garden, pointed it at the house roughly in the direction of my wifi router, and bazinga, 5-10mbps depending on lunar cycle.
Good enough to stream some amazon music. That's all I wanted. I could now get another one and point it from the house to the garage for better speeds, but that's not needed.
If we ever rip open the tarmac between house and garage I'm putting a cable there, or a pipe to push cable through later. Right now it's not happening. I also have no idea how they got electricity to the garage in the first place, probably just buried the cables and that's that.
tl;dr thanks guys you put me on the right track and I'm happy. streaming kid's songs to the cheap kindle tablet and putting that on a Amazon.com: Anker SoundCore Sport XL Outdoor Portable Bluetooth Speaker - 16W Output and 2 Subwoofers, IP67 Waterproof & Dustproof, Shockproof, 66ft Bluetooth Range, 15H Playtime, Built-in Mic, USB Charging Port: Home Audio & Theater

So, I got the bridge setup and it's working. But, I lost internet and can't access my router. I can connect to wifi, but I can't access the settings.
Here's the blueprint:
My modem > my nighthawk router > M5 nanostation (access point) ---------- M5 nanostation (bridge) > neighbors router
Weirdly enough, when I try to get into my nighthawk using 192.168.1.1, I get my neighbors router instead.
Any tipz?

Sounds like neighbor's router has the wrong IP, and since that's also the gateway on your stations they're looking at a device that isn't supplying them interwebs. If you can resolve that IP issue, change the IP on your router and update the gateways to point to it? I could be wrong.
