Cannot connect to LAN machine while connected thru VPN

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

This is a pretty basic setup, on my home network I have my workstation Windows PC. I need to be able to connect via Remote Desktop when I’m away.
I have a similar (or same) setup at my office and it works, but for some reason I can’t get this to work on my home network.

L2TP server with profiles and user secrets set up.
Bridge’s ARP is set to “proxy-arp”.
My internal network is 10.10.85.0/24
There’s a firewall rule that should be allowing this: add action=accept chain=forward dst-address=10.0.0.0/8 src-address=10.10.85.0/24
When I am connected to my home network through VPN with my laptop, I am able to connect to the router with WinBox. So, I am definitely connected to the network, just that it doesn’t go forward from there, or something is blocking it.

Please let me know what configuration I could change to get this to work.

I assume your PC is getting a 10.something address on its l2tp connection
(It needs to be 10.something)

Perhaps modify (or copy and modify) the forward rule so it is the other way around.
(from 10.0.0.0/8 to 10.10.85.0/24)

Next, probably setup a Src-nat rule for your PC’s l2tp address.
if src-ip=pc-l2tp-address and out_interface=bridge then masquerade.

If your router config is based on the default config, perhaps add the l2tp interface as a lan interface.
(Create a server binding for your PC’s L2TP interface, and add that to the lan interface list)

Hi there.
Start with trying to connect to that Windows PC from LAN with remote desktop and that laptop. Is it possible?
