Hi all, 

I have file shares at home i would like to access over a VPN currently i have a USG Pro 4 and have successfully setup a vpn but I cant access my file shares on my server running windows 10 over the VPN but can when connected to the LAN network.

Equipment:

USG PRO 4 (router from ubiquiti)

Ubiquity 48 port switch

R510 Server (hosts the file shares) 

R620 (does nothing at the moment)

Conditions:

My server is using a cloud directory service to apply users

I am using access control so users have access to shared folders and their own folders.

 

VPN is using the 192.168.4.1/24 subnet 

LAN is using the 192.168.1.1/24 subnet

 

Any ideas?

Just checked and yes I can ping it on the R510 DRAC ip and the 2 adapter ip's as for the other server its not plugged in to the network right now because I am re-cabling it tomorrow once amazon delivers my patch cables.

Im asssuming your using SMB/CIFS for file shared?

 

Do other things work over the vpn like remote desktop?

I am using the windows 10 built in file share and access control features I do believe this is SMB.

 

And just tried and the windows remote desktop client does not work.

Gonna say check routing on your router first. Make sure to add the custom route for the subnet.
