Case Study – Can’t access the server using RDC after enabling VPN

Situation: A company used to use RDC to access the server remotely. They just setup VPN by selecting VPN and NAT option under RRAS Setup Wizard. The VPN server worked and outside VPN client could access it.

Problem: Since then, they could not access the server using RDC from outside.

Troubleshooting: By default, the VPN/NAT blocks all ports except VPN after setup VPN/NAT.

Recommendation: They should access the server using the private IP instead of the public IP. If they do want to access the server using the public IP, they should open the port 3389 under NAT Services and Ports.
