Local Gateway in VPN = the local device’s public IP/interface that terminates the VPN tunnel and identifies itself to the peer.

Enabled-

Pros: Explicit tunnel endpoint, predictable routing, supports multi-WAN and failover.

Cons: Less flexible if IP changes; needs updates after WAN changes.

Disabled-

Pros: Simpler setup, adapts to dynamic IPs.

Cons: Less control, may cause issues in complex/multi-interface setups.
