Window server is loosing connectivity when first client login

Hello everybody,

we've this scenario:
* Windows Server 2016 with RAS enabled as NAT
* One network adapter for WAN access
* One virtual adapter for VPN functionalities

Windows is working fine, and I mean that services on Windows machine are reachable (es: RDP) on WAN access (filtered)
When a client connection is established, the Windows server is not reachable anymore but the client can navigate flawlessy (we want to use the Windows server as vpn gateway for internet purposes).

We need to stop RAS service in console to let services be reachable again.

What is wrong with our scenario?
To be honest, this configuration was working until few days ago.
Windows server is updated.

Hello, the problem was a Windows Server Update: KB5014742
After installing this update, Windows devices might be unable to use the Wi-Fi hotspot feature. When attempting to use the hotspot feature, the host device might lose the connection to the Internet after a client device connects.
The problem was solved uninstalling that update.
