Windows 10: Permissions concerning accessing shares through VPN channels

I have a problem I can’t find an answer to. We have a Server 2016 acting as the main server in a little network with a few users. The server host the domain controller, file server, IIS etc and is intended to also act as VPN server. We have set up remote access so that we can access the filesystem through a VPN tunnel. Those logging in through the VPN tunnel are both users from machines that has joined our domain and users from machines not joined the domain. All the users have accounts on the server and the necessary privileges to access shares in the domain.

We do experience that in the case of logging in from non-domain machines through a valid user they do not get access to the shares. If the same user loges in from a domain joined machine, they does not get the necessary access to the shares. We do not want to open up to guests but have a strict control on who is granted read/write/execute access. We want to allow access to non-domain computers where the user loges in through a user that is authorized at the domain controller.

Can anyone give me some tip on how to achieve this or point me in a direction where I can find relevant information.

Can't Ping VPN Server or Access Shares While Using VPN


I've been dealing with this issue for hours now and have tried everything I can think of. I have a Windows 10 Home PC that I have an incoming VPN connection on. I can connect to it, but if the firewall is enabled, I can't ping it or access the shares. If I turn the firewall off I CAN ping and access shares. It was working fine yesterday and I don't remember doing anything to cause this. I've tracked it down to being something with my Public networks. When I disable the firewall on public networks (the VPN adapter) I can ping, but once I enable that it stops pinging. I've tried everything listed below but still can't get it to work:

• Checked port 1723 is open
• Allowed EVERYTHING with a firewall rule, through it
• Checked multiple devices on another Wi-Fi network and 3G with a phone
• Restarted PC; other devices and router
• I can ping every other device on my network besides the one creating the VPN (which is the one I need)
• and so many other steps.
• Made sure file and printer sharing were enabled in network and sharing center

Is there some other rule that got removed from the firewall I need to re-add? Any help or tips would be appreciated!

Hi everyone.
I am not an expert about Vpn and that's why I would like to know if someone could list me a few trusted Vpns, I would really appreciate any suggestion/ advice.

Thanks.
