VPN connected but no access to files

Post by nik1 » Fri Nov 26, 2021 12:41 pm

Hey guys,

I have a VPN to access files from my remote server and everything works perfectly fine but somehow it suddenly broke a few weeks ago. I can connect and access my SMB shares but after a few minutes the connection just drops, and I can’t access the files anymore, but the OpenVPN client still says connected. I then try to access the network share a couple of times and get the error message that I can’t connect and then it usually works for a couple of minutes before it breaks again. This only happens from my home network. If I use any other network, it works perfectly fine. It worked perfectly before. Could this be related to my ISP? I haven’t changed anything on my home network nor the VPN.

Thanks in advance!
