Unable to link LAN devices via VPN on Draytek Vigor 2866 for MacOS
On Windows everything functions smoothly with the VPN on your Draytek router, allowing you to reach network shares and RDP from any device. On MacOS it seems to be missing this feature. Consider checking the settings or contacting support for further assistance.
You're asking for clarification on how your setup works. It seems you're wondering if accessing a network share depends on the operating system of both the host and client, whether you're using a VPN, and if direct connections are possible. You also want to know about the specific VPN client in use and whether you've tried connecting manually without auto-discovery. Additionally, you're checking if the share is reachable from within the VPN tunnel.
The Draytek is managing the VPN setup. I can access the Mac using the host name locally and the shares' IPV4 address. However, when trying remote connection through the VPN, I can't use the name or IPV4 address. I also can't ping the devices. Launching my Ubiquti controller on the Mac, which is on the same machine as the share, isn't working either. I set up a test share on another device but still couldn't connect.
The process involves more than just entering the right login details. Based on your posts, it seems the VPN isn't connecting properly on MacOS. I suggest confirming the VPN's status to ensure it's active according to the operating system. Are you using the VPN standard that Draytek employs natively? You mentioned DrayTek's "Smart VPN Client"—is that the one you're trying to connect with?
I've tested both the Smart VPN client and used MacOS via System Preferences > Network, but the issue remains. It grabs an IP from the router, allowing access to DraytekOS, yet I can't connect to other devices, file shares, or reach my Ubiquiti controller and web filtering proxy.
