Hello! On an old desktop PC with VMs, I'm using Windows 10 Pro instead of a dedicated Windows Server license because I don't want to spend much money. The setup includes two virtual machines: one for pfSense and another for Ubuntu. pfSense is connected to both the router and Ubuntu running Cloudflare (clodron.io). On Cloudflare, I'm using Apache Guacamole and OpenVPN. My PC has only two NICs—one for my LAN and one for my WAN. pfSense uses both, while Ubuntu is limited to the LAN. The issue is that the VMs can't reach the host PC even when connected via the same NIC, especially when using VPN. This happened in Windows Server 2016 too. The problem is that remote desktop connections through the VPN don't work for accessing the host PC, but I can still connect to switches and access points. Is there a specific setting in Hyper-V or Windows that blocks this behavior?
