hi:
i have two pc's connected to a broadband router. i use remote desktop from A to connect to B, which works fine. on B, i've set up a vpn connection to a personal VPN service. i chose "public location" when i first connected to the vpn network, because i want the most secure environment possible on that PC when i'm connected to the vpn. i also unchecked everything other than "Internet Protocol Version 4" in the properties of the vpn connection, as per their security instructions. but when i am connected to the vpn on B, i can no longer use remote desktop from A to connect to B over the LAN. when i connect to the vpn on B, i want all internet traffic on B to go through the vpn. however, i would still like to be able to use remote desktop from A to connect to B over my LAN. i do NOT want the remote desktop connection to have to go through the vpn server to get to B (because of the effect that would have on latency). how can i set this up? |

That is a good question. Assuming the the VPN client is public location
after establishing the VPN, you may want to create a inbound rule using Windows firewall with advanced security on local computer. -- Bob Lin, MS-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "ryanj247" wrote in message ... hi: i have two pc's connected to a broadband router. i use remote desktop from A to connect to B, which works fine. on B, i've set up a vpn connection to a personal VPN service. i chose "public location" when i first connected to the vpn network, because i want the most secure environment possible on that PC when i'm connected to the vpn. i also unchecked everything other than "Internet Protocol Version 4" in the properties of the vpn connection, as per their security instructions. but when i am connected to the vpn on B, i can no longer use remote desktop from A to connect to B over the LAN. when i connect to the vpn on B, i want all internet traffic on B to go through the vpn. however, i would still like to be able to use remote desktop from A to connect to B over my LAN. i do NOT want the remote desktop connection to have to go through the vpn server to get to B (because of the effect that would have on latency). how can i set this up? |
