Trying to set up VPN for first time

Post by scottwojack » Mon Nov 07, 2022 8:02 pm

Hi,

I am trying to set up a vpn so that I can visit websites with a US ip address. I have tried to follow some tutorials but what I want to do does not work ( https://www.softether.org/4-docs/2-howt ... into_Cloud ). My desktop is in Europe. I have set up an Azure windows 10 vm in the US. My test to see if the vpn works as expected is as follows. Go to foodnetwork.com. The problem is the site still directs me to the UK website. I also expect my ip address from https://www.whatismyip.com/ to be the public ipadress of my VM in the US.

Can anyone help me.

On the VPS SE server delete bridge, if any, and enable SecureNAT with all defaults.

On your PC client use a cookie-clean browser, preferably portable, eg https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable

If still unresolved, make a VPN connection and post from the client, as code, the output of:

Code: Select all

netstat -r
ipconfig /all
sc query SEVPNCLIENT
sc query dhcp
vpncmd localhost /client /cmd NicList
