Hi everyone, I just configured a VPN on my Windows 10 machine and it’s functioning properly. I can log in from both client and server sides, and everything shows I’m connected. I’m curious about sharing folders from the server side while only using the VPN connection, not a local LAN. I attempted to enter the server IP in the network drive settings on the client, like: \\192.168.0.200\folder_name and also tried using server_pc_name\folder_name, but it didn’t work. On the client’s file explorer, the “network” section doesn’t display the server PC either. I’m unsure if this is due to a Windows firewall or if I need to configure port redirection on my router. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
