Cant connect to SMB share when host is running vpn - eviltoast

I have a windows 10 box running plex and a couple small docker containers.

I have my desktop (win 11) connected to the windows box via SMB share.

When I activate VPN on the windows box my SMB credentials fail. No access.

Can access the windows box via RDP just fine.

Any ideas? This is driving me crazy

    Yeah but doesn’t explain why he can rdp to his win10 but not smb, also he gets a denied access not a not found error.

    OP have you checked the status of your windows firewall and the network connection? Does windows say you are on private or public network?
