Windows 10: Remote desktop and VPN, only able to connect via cellphone hotspot

To be able to work from home I use a VPN to connect to my work-PC using a remote desktop. But when I connect to my wifi and start the VPN connection, I'm unable to connect to the remote desktop. This error shows: "The remote resource can't be reached". But when I use my phone as a hotspot the phone is connected to the same wifi, the connection can be made. So the difference is only my pc, in one situation it is connected to the wifi directly, the other via my phone, but to the same wifi. In both situations a VPN connection can be made.


So what's going on? Please ask if more information is required. I wasn't entirely sure whether this is a windows issue or the VPN.

WM6.5 - Remote desktop over VPN

So i am trying to access a server on my network using my MW6.5 remote desktop over a VPN-connection

These are the issues i have:

• Remote desktop connects locally but not remote
• VPN is working for Active Sync but not Remote Desktop
• I have tried to access the remote client using only Remote desktop, and also tried to start the VPN-connection manually but there is no go

Remote desktop works perfectly locally but as soon as i am outside the network it don't work.
I use the same VPN-settings as for my Active Sync (pushmail from my exchange) and i am also trying to access the exchange server... that is, the same IP is used for both Active Sync and Remote Desktop.

I would guess that since Active Sync activelly start the VPN-connection when it tries to sync my email Remote Desktop would do the same when i use it - but no!

I am using a localized HTC HD Mini (swedish), we have a cisco VPN-concentrator, server is running Windows Server 2008 R2. I would like to know how to make this work.
(if i missed some info needed i will supply what is asked for)

 

Remote Desktop access to Always On VPN client

I have a number of Always On VPN clients (using system tunnels) configured at our site...and it would be helpful to be able to connect via remote desktop to the Always On VPN clients.

Is there a way to get the RDP listener to listen for connections on the Always-On VPN interface? The RDP listener is aware of the wireless, wired and VPN link from a 3rd party VPN client installed on these remote devices, but the Always On VPN interface
is not listed as a valid interface to listen on. The Always On VPN interface does not show up in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\lanatable (adding the interface to this list would likely fix the issue).

 

Remote Desktop App over VPN via an iPhone Hotspot

We've got rather an interesting situation here,

What we have is when we try to use the Microsoft Remote Desktop App to connect to our Internal servers either our 2008R2 rds farm or to administer one of the other servers we get the following error message.

Couldn't Connect.

Something went wrong when we tried to connect. If this keeps happening, ask your admin or tech support for help.

This only occurs when we are connected to the Internet via an iPhone Hotspot and then connected to our Internal Domain via a VPN.

However if we use the old Remote desktop program (MSTSC.exe) we can connect fine.

We use the Remote Desktop App because of the screen scaling ability so when my uses are using a Surface they can read what's on the screen.

If we connect to the Internet via a normal Wifi using the same VPN connection it works.

It's not a factor of speed I've connected successfully using a Wifi that has a 4 Mbps connection, and failed using the iPhone Hotspot with a 12Mbps connection.

The Surface is Windows 10 with the latest build ( September 2017) and the Remote Desktop App is version 10.1.997.0

Has anyone else come across this and have a solution to make it work.

Cheers
