local firewall
-
I have openvpn set up on my pfsense firewall. here is the problem that i am experiencing: i am not able to access shared folders/drives on a certain machine on my lan. when i disable windows firewall, i can access them and also ping that certain computer. but with windows firewall on, i cannot. can anyone tell me what's going on and help me to fix this? is it possible to create a rule in windows firewall to allow this? any help will be appreciated, i am pulling my hair out here.

By default Windows allows incoming connections only from local/known subnets.
Your OpenVPN Tunnel network is unknown to Windows and blocked.
But you can just add your OpenVPN subnet to the Windows Firewall:-Rico
