    Cannot ping server name when connected to other VPN

    It is most likely that the VPN server is blocking Ping requests or the Gateway is. Usually VPN's will not respond to a Ping, since you are encapsulating traffic inside packets that appear to the Gateway as transparent. Depending on what VPN Server software you are using or if using the Gateway to be the VPN server, along with what you are using for the connection.

    We do not want the devices behind the wall to respond to pings from a computer outside of the LAN that is connecting via a VPN connection. We want to define in the VPN software what devices or shares that only the outside user is only allowed to be given access to. If we do want a Ping to go through the VPN, we allow ICMP requests, which is not needed, unless you have a remote server using that IP ping as a way to give a Heartbeat keep alive or for WOL to make sure that the device we wish to wake up is actually still on the network with the Static IP assigned.

    Now if you are using RDP, VNC or Teamviewer, you really are not using a VPN. You are just making a remote connection.

    Windows VPN - Can connect and ping VPN server but cannot ping any other devices on remote LAN

    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!
