Unable to access computers on my network through VPN

Firmware Version: 1.1.0 Build 20211118 rel.71177(5553)

Hi all,

I am trying to setup a VPN connection between my office and home so I can access a NAS drive at home for file backups. I have a TP-Link AX6000 and have setup a L2TP VPN connection using my work router (Asus RT-AX92U) as client. The connection is clearly successful as I can access the router management page but I cannot reach any other computers on my home network. Anyone have any suggestions to fix this. Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Have you configured the firewalls of the computers in your home network accordingly?

Normally, modern operating systems all come with some sort of firewall. By default that firewall is usually configured to allow access by devices that are within the same network and to block access from remote devices.
