[Windows] VPNClient becomes isolated from LAN

Post by Elezorn » Mon Nov 10, 2025 11:10 pm

Hello everyone

There's a machine with some service running on it(ex. file/web server) which is accessible across whole LAN via address:port. But when User starts a vpnclient session then physical connection(ethernet or wifi) becomes marked as "Unidentified" and can't be changed and services are no longer accessible by anyone.

Tried playing with interface metrics, but the only two states are:
either whole traffic goes through vpn tunnel(which is good) and local service not accessible LAN-wise
or
vpn tunnel active with traffic not going through it(which is bad) and local service accessible LAN-wise

So the main idea/question is: Is it possible for windows machine to have local shares/services not being isolated from LAN while whole traffic goes through tunnel? Same config works on official Linux client and 3rd party android client. Am I missing something or is there some limitations?

Thanks

Disable TunnelCrack protection.
