Hello all,
I would like to share files via OpenVPN. Connection between server and client is configured and as far as I know it is working fine (btw. thank you for great How-To documentation!).
But Windows firewall is blockin file sharing. Network connection created by OpenVPN is marked as "Unidentified network". Problem is that I can not change network location (location is "public" which, of course, disallows file sharing).
After some googling, I did found work-around to change local policies (run->mmc->Local Policy->Computer Configuration->...->Network List Manager Policies). I changed User permissions of Unidentified network ("user can change location") and rebooted the server. But still I can not change location...
So, how I could allow file sharing for OpenVPN connections?
Should I add firewall rule to all network types which allows file sharing for connection coming from 10.8.0.x?
OS: Windows Web Server 2008 R2

Re: Windows Server 2008 network location/firewall issue
if the VPN is working fine (can the VPN client the VPN server and vice versa?) then it's pretty much off-topic for this forum. Changing the network location is not something that OpenVPN (currently) can do for you. Try searching the web, e.g.
