SoftEther VPN: how to connect via RDP directly to VPN server host?

Question

VPN

Good afternoon friends!

SoftEther VPN server is deployed on Windows 7, there is no bridge to the server's physical network adapter, since the server does not have its own LAN. Remote clients connect to the server using the built-in Windows L2TP IPsec VPN client.

Remote clients connected to the server see each other, ping and can request, for example, an RDP session.

The problem is that one of the remote clients of the VPN server needs to connect via RDP directly to the host, the computer that acts as the VPN server, but this cannot be done.

In the IP tables of the VPN server, you can see the SECURE NAT interface, which is created when we configure the DHCP server and everything else on the server, but apparently this is not the host itself.

How can this be implemented?

PS: a collective farm solution to the problem can be the installation of the SoftEther VPN Client program on the same computer with the VPN server, creating a virtual network interface of the client, which will output the IP of the server itself to the virtual LAN of the VPN network, but I think this solution is not very elegant.

Answer 1

The question is closed! There was no other solution, except for closing the server to itself by SoftEther VPN Client.

Answer 2

Break on the VPN server address? and configure the firewall rules for it as well ...
