Windows 10: VPN Access Server Setup unresoved issues

Hello everyone,

This is my first post to this forum.

I'm attempting to create an incoming VPN connection. My objective is to have access to my media library to play on my mobile devices (iOS) when I'm away from home but otherwise connected to wifi.

A few things to note:

• My router is a Linksys EA3500
• All available VPN passthroughs are enabled.
• Port 1723 is forwarded to the local IP of the host machine (static IP)
• The incoming connection is configured to assign a range of IP addresses rather than use DHCP. Using 192.168.1.250-255
• My Home PC's access the internet via a VPN service because, well.... reasons.
• Remote users are allowed to access shared resources (folders, printers, etc.)

I can connect to the VPN from my iOS device as long as I'm on my Home network, and connect to the host via its local IP, however, I cannot access the internet and VLC cannot see my shared media folders, I'm also logging into the VPN as the owner of those folders. When I'm connected to the Home network but not connected to the VPN , VLC can see and read from the shared media folders.

When I am not connected to my home network's access point, I cannot connect to the VPN at all, and yes I remembered to change from the Local IP to the WAN IP in the client settings. *Tongue

I've read some other similar issues and many pointed to unchecking "use default gateway" to split the tunnel. I have two issues with this.

1) I don't want to split the tunnel, I want all my internet traffic to be routed from the internet connection of the access host and...
2) this doesn't solve the issue of accessing my shared folders that contain my media library.

Any help would be appreciated. if you need more details, please tell me what you need and how to locate the information.

E61 and VPN set-up

Hi - I have a Nokia E61 on Vodafone. I have managed to setup wifi access and have tested the browser ok. I am having trouble locating / configuring the VPN access to our Microsoft VPN.

Can someone advise on config information or how this is set-up? I have configured the VPN but it keeps asking for a policy, which I setup as our VPN access server. It does not work...

Please assist - Eddie

 

vpn and file share win 10, How can I get network resources enabled to the VPN client?

<Original title: vpn and file share win 10>

Setup a vpn network connection on Win 10 and setup a client to access it but network file share resources are not found on the host machine nor other machines on the network through the VPN.

How can I get network resources enabled to the VPN client?

port forwarded both 47, 1723 to the VPN server...

Shouldn't this just work?
