Need help to setup a VPN server with only one NIC

Post by becpartners » Tue Apr 02, 2019 9:43 am

Hi,
I need to setup a VPN server on a Windows 10 Pro computer where there is some shared folders that I need to access from without my home with my MacBook with 4G internet. My Windows 10 computer have only one NIC. I was able to setup my server (hope I've done it correctly) by reading Softether website and forums and my Macbook is able to connect to the VPN but I can't do anything with it. I can't ping the VPN server or see the shared folders in it nor in any computer in the same LAN. Anyone can give me some help ? I gladly pay for a coffee or a beer :)

Hello,
Did you set up a local bridge or are you using SecureNAT ?
If not, You need to set up a local bridge from the virtual HUB you created and the single NIC you mentioned. At one time it was recommended having 2 NIC with one being strictly used as the local bridge and removing all the protocols. However it will work with 1 NIC.
