    VPN - how do you connect to local network HDD's on own LAN


    Hi folks

    Those of you who use VPN's - is there any easy way of accessing networked hard drives on your LAN while connected to the VPN -- I can do it treating the lan as connected over the Interenet but that's a hassle - I want to use standard lan connections via simple networking -- possible or not. Windows 10 Machines.

    Cheers

    In split tunneling you can define which apps are not tunneled. Not all VPN's offer this possibility.

    Hi there

    Thanks to @PiKo

    Marking as SOLVED !!

    Never thought of even looking for "Split tunnelling" in the VPN options !! That fixed it.

    Main apps I'm using are RDP (to the VM) and FILEZILLA for file transfer from and to various machines and access to shared HDD's on the machine running connected to the VPN.

    This was the scenario I was looking at.

    Laptop (W10) on LAN wants to connect to a VM - a Windows VM running on another HOST machine when HOST is connected to VPN (but the VM isn't connected to the VPN).

    The VPN I'm using offers split tunelling which works perfectly !!!!!!!
