Windows 10: Unable To Access Microsoft Store Or Save Any File From Internet When Connected To VPN, But...

I connect to everything via a VPN


When this is on Outlook works OK but that's about it


I cant access the MS App store or any of the help options & I cant save a file downloaded from the internet to my local machine or anywhere else.

No access to Windows Store when connected to VPN

I have seen quite few posts here and there about it as well. I was hoping you guys on this forum might posses some more knowledge about this issue.

Anyway, VPN I use is self hosted one on VPS. Of course, suggested method "don't use VPN" works but then it undermines whole sense of using VPN.

I forgot to mention in my first post, that once "connection" with Windows Store is established without active VPN connection, I can turn on VPN and download apps as usual. Once OS is rebooted Microsoft Store serves the same error again.

I will try to send feedback if this is the only way to get it sorted.

 

No access to Windows Store when connected to VPN


Hello all,

I use VPN on Windows 10 Home edition when I connect to internet.

This, however, stops me from downloading anything from Windows Store. Same thing happens when I tried to use Photos and Mail apps. I have to turn off VPN so I can download anything.

Error displayed is as in the screenshot.


Is there any solution for this?

 

Is it possible to share internet connection via remote desktop?

RDP is not capable of Internet sharing, so you can't share Internet using RDP with standard applications. There are many way to share Internet from a Windows box to another one. I suggest you to use VPN. You should do following steps:

1. Run VPN Server on your server with unlimited internet access
   
2. Connect to VPN server from your limited computer
