    VPN LAN problem


    I have a windows 10 work laptop (I dont have admin rights on this computer) that has a VPN installed (this is labelled WAN Miniport (SSTP). When the VPN is connected I am unable to access any devices on my home network. This includes storage which is located on my local network at 192.168.1.6. If I disconnect the VPN, I am unable to access anything, either on the internet or locally. The only workaround I have found is to connect to the VPN and access my network storage through the internet using an external ip address and setting up port forwarding in my router. While this works, I am not keen on this approach because it means I have to be connected to the internet just to use my local storage. Are there any options I can try in windows 10 to get this working? I would be really grateful for help on this matter.

    :)

    VPN LAN problem

    VPN for LAN/Internet Gaming

    I was trying to get Empire Earth to work over Internet but it appears the master servers are down for the count. The only way to play the game now is via LAN which I confirmed did work; however, it would be nice to play with a friend over the Internet so he doesn't have to come over here and I think VPN can do that. Unfortunately, I don't know much more about VPN than what it stands for...

    Anyone got suggestsions for VPN software to achieve what am I trying to achieve (LAN over Internet)? I'd prefer free because it probably won't get used more than once a month.

    Thanks in advance for suggestions.
