Re: Server doesn't see share on remote machine connected via VPN

Windows firewall is pretty worthless except for the most basic user.
Programs can add themselves to the exception list. Even if Windows
networking is on the exception list, routed ip addresses still get
blocked if the remote machine is on a different sub net. Meaning vpn
networking traffic always gets blocked by it.
