    Can't connect to Remote Desktop over the internet while VPN is active


    Hello.

    I have my personal computer in my home which I have to connect from my laptop at work, I setup it everything to be able to connect over the internet with Dynamic DNS and it works very good, the problem is when I connect to a VPN from my computer at home.
    The current remote desktop session remains connected even if I've changed the IP, but the problem is when I have to reconnect, because it can't connect again. I have to enter that computer via TeamViewer and turn off the VPN.

    What can I do to prevent this and be able to connect always to my computer even if it has running a VPN?

    Thank you very much.

    I ran into a similar problem. When I was connected to a VPN, I could not connect to a printer on my home LAN. There was a "reason" for that, but I just don't remember.

    My impression is that this behavior is a feature, not a bug. Very annoying, and really wastes time, either way.
