SSL VPN to Shared Folder on PC

Two reasons come to my mind: local firewall on the win11 station is disabled?

Second: is the win11 station using the same default gateway as the NAS?

Please check.

The answer to Both Questions is yes. Both devices are using the same gateway and the firewall is enabled on the PC.

Disable that local firewall, please.

Yes, it is as you suspected after disabling the firewall i was able to access the folders, however i don't want to leave this pc unprotected.

Do you have any ideas on where i could start in windows firewall to resolve this.

Any help will be appreciated

Usually the setting where it rejects traffic except for that in its own subnet - don't remember where that is.

Another option would be to do something similar to 'SNAT : "VPN Pool (SSL)" -> "Any" -> {server with folders} : from "Internal (Address)".  See #5 in Rulz if you want to use this approach.

That said, I routinely disable the Windows firewalls on PCs protected by the UTM - I haven't seen that PC-based firewalls reject bad traffic that the UTM allowed in.  Then again, I don't know how well those Win-11 firewalls today can protect PCs from attacks by malware on other internal devices.

Thanks for all your help, i was able to resolve the issue by adding the VPN subnet in windows firewall inbound rules.

Thanks again.
