Server essential 2016 vpm
Hi
Anytime anywhere stopped working via vpn, it was working fine before teaming both nic’s Up.
I have un coupled nics and it still doesn’t work.
When I’m onsite and connect via vpn I can access shared files.
When I go offsite I can connect via vpn and not connect to my shared files.
Please advice server essentials 2016

Essentials does not support multiple NICs and will break services. If the second NIC is still enabled, disable it. Not disconnect, disable. Even better is to remove or disable in the BIOS. I would then re-run the Anywhere access Wizard which should repair the configuration.

Hi Rob
It’s listed in all the popular books on essential 2016.
I’ve already disabled and run repair but no joy.
It’s only the shared files I can’t access over vpn.

Teaming or 2 NIC's. I believe teaming is supported but not multiple NICs or Multi-homing.
Any chance it is a Windows firewall rule? By default when file and print sharing is enabled it creates a firewall exception for the local network/subnet. Depending how your VPN is configured, it may use a different subnet and need to be added to the subnet. I'd try disabling the firewall just as a test.
Also, though it worked before, if the site from which you are connecting uses the same subnet as the server, you will be able to connect, but not access resources. The subnets need to be different. For example if corporate and remote both use 192.168.1.x locally, it won't work.
