OpenVPN to server, then ExpressVPN to the outside? (lemmy.one)

I use openvpn to connect to my server at home. When I surf the Internet or any of my apps on my phone go to the Internet while I'm on the VPN it's going out to the internet from my server.

Does anybody know a way to set it up so that whatever goes out from that server goes through expressvpn? I can't seem to get it to work on the router because openvpn then cannot connect to my server.

No reason it shouldn't work if the VPN connection is two separate servers, one for the 'server' vs the 'client' connection.
