Hello, I set up the SoftEther VPN Server on my home PC and the SoftEther VPN Client on my notebook. I was able to connect and reach other devices on my network. Since my notebook uses a phone hotspot for internet access, things are fine so far. The issue arises when trying to access services running on my Home PC or VPN server, like the Universal media server web interface on port 9001. My home PC's IP is 192.168.0.3. It works from other devices on the same network but not when accessed from the notebook via VPN. Disabling the VPN and connecting to the home Wi-Fi resolves the problem. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Just wanted to let everyone know the issue is resolved. If anyone encounters the same problem, it might help. The main challenge was the connection entering the circle via 192.168.0.3, which was also searching for that address on the network. The fix involved adding a second IP (like 192.168.0.99) in Network Adapter settings under Internet Protocol. After making this change, all servers using specific IPs now default to 192.168.0.99 instead of 192.168.0.3. It works perfectly now. This solution can be saved for future reference.
