I've set up a client to connect to Synology Router VPN Plus Server. Everything seems to work well except that the client can't access shared folders in the same network.
This may happen because the VPN network is identified as a 'Public' and unidentified network. The virtual network is created upon a TAP-Windows Adapter V9.
Is there a way I can tell OpenVPN to create a 'Private' network in the same Workgroup as the rest of the LAN clients? this should allow for file sharing connections.
Thanks,
File sharing under Windows 10 Home

I'm affraid that changing the network status from "Public" to "Private" doesn't solve the problem, I've managed to do it myself but still it doesn't work...

You will probably have to learn how to configure the Windows Firewall correctly ..

Actually all the rules for OpenVPN Daemon are enabled, either for Public or Private profiles.

Re: File sharing under Windows 10 Home
I've found that actually file sharing is available if I connect using the \\serverip\folder format instead of \\servername\folder. It's ok with my file server because it has a fixed ip but I wonder what happens with devices that get an ip from the dhcp server, for example printers.
I'll try to find it out
