Can't Ping VPN Server or Access Shares While Using VPN
I've been dealing with this issue for hours now and have tried everything I can think of. I have a Windows 10 Home PC that I have an incoming VPN connection on. I can connect to it, but if the firewall is enabled, I can't ping it or access the shares. If I turn the firewall off I CAN ping and access shares. It was working fine yesterday and I don't remember doing anything to cause this. I've tracked it down to being something with my Public networks. When I disable the firewall on public networks (the VPN adapter) I can ping, but once I enable that it stops pinging. I've tried everything listed below but still can't get it to work:
- Checked port 1723 is open
- Allowed EVERYTHING with a firewall rule, through it
- Checked multiple devices on another Wi-Fi network and 3G with a phone
- Restarted PC; other devices and router
- I can ping every other device on my network besides the one creating the VPN (which is the one I need)
- and so many other steps.
- Made sure file and printer sharing were enabled in network and sharing center
Is there some other rule that got removed from the firewall I need to re-add? Any help or tips would be appreciated!
