SecureNAT and shared folder access on the same server not working (no LAN)

Post by keke27 » Sat Feb 15, 2025 6:32 pm

Hello Everyone,

I won't deny I'm really confused about this.

It is a Windows VPS, no lan, just one public IP address. There is a shared folder on this server.

SoftEther installed on mentioned server, securenat configured and enabled: the gateway is 192.168.30.1, DHCP set from .100 to .200.

Remote PC: SoftEther Client installed, gets IP 192.168.30.100 fine, connects perfectly to VPN server. I can PING 192.168.30.1, but am unable to access \\192.168.30.1\sharedfolder.

BUT, on the server: I cannot ping 192.168.30.1 on the server itself, nor can I access \\192.168.30.1\sharedfolder. (I CAN access the shared folder via the server's public ip.)

The main point: I want to access the server's shared folder via VPN, definitely not over the internet using the server's public IP (because the ISP blocks it).

I appreciate any help in advance.
