Tags: #VPN
Model: EB810v  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 0.14.0 3.0.0 v608b.0 Build 240709 Rel.56868n

I can access Microsoft Remote Desktop when I am at home connected to WIFI/LAN. However, I intend to access my Windows 11 PC remotely using OpenVPN. It seems that Remote Desktop over OpenVPN does not work although I can connect to OpenVPN successfully.

 

I read the solution in community and I still can't find the solution.

 

My router is provided by Starhub ISP (TP Link Archer BE810v/BE22000).

That's odd.

 

If you're successfully connected to the VPN server, you should be able to access the local PC.

 

Please check the VPN Server settings on the EB810v to see if there are similar settings as on generic models as follows:

 

Since the EB810v is designed for Service Providers, the specific settings may differ. If you're not sure about the settings, it's suggested to contact StarHub for assistance.

Thank you for asking the community.

 

How do you configure OpenVPN in the local network? If you're setting up the EB810v as an OpenVPN Server and connecting a remote computer, you should be able to access the local PC without issues.

 

Please check if you're enabling a firewall on the local PC. Try disabling it and see if you can access the PC from a remote computer.

  @Kevin_Z I have disabled the firewall on windows 11, including the antivirus firewall. It still does not work.

  @Kevin_Z it is the same as the page you shown above. This is why it is strange that I can't connect to my PC. I have disabled all firewall in windows PC as well.

 

so frustrated with this router. My previous router Asus AX88U has no issue with OpenVPN and Remote Desktop.

  @Defaultuser9 are you sure that rdp access work if you in local network?

 disabled firewall on windows including the antivirus firewall does not mean that it is not working ;)

maybe go to inbound and chek these  

 

try to install tplink wifi navi and ping your pc over vpn

  @YuriyB RDP works when I am on local network but it does not work when I am offsite although OpenVPN is connected. 
 

my firewall inbound rule has the same setting you mentioned above.

I managed to use remote desktop over OpenVpn if I disable SPI firewall, after reading the following link:

 

https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/661992

 

I do not know if this is a bug in TP link software.

 

Here is illustration of my situation at the moment
