I have the Mikrotik VPN router supplied by Liberty Shield. When I connect my PC and NAS to the router using lan cables, the PC cannot see the NAS. It works fine when both are connected to the ISP router. When connected to the VPN router the PC can access the internet and the VPN side works fine. Any ideas how I get the VPN router setup so the NAS is visible to the PC?
Please keep answers simple as I am not very technical. Thanks.
Hi
what ip’s are these devices getting?
Also note that there is a note about that at theirs site: https://libertyshield.kayako.com/article/18-manual-network-settings-disable-dhcp
Hi Sebastia, Thanks for your message. I have now enabled access to the NAS drives by setting a static IP address instead of DHCP.
Bizarrely when I tried to post this message first time I couldn’t because Spamhaus has blocked the address I am using via the VPN. So now I may have a new problem!
Good to hear that your nas is accessible.
Regarding Spamhouse, you mean when accessing this forum?
Yes. When I try to post a reply it says “Your IP 85.199.212.130 has been blocked because it is blacklisted. For details please see http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=85.199.212.130.”
Even Google now thinks this is a dodgy IP address.
If possible, try changing vpn server. or use your normal isp: forum is protected by ssl (->https)
Thanks. I have now changed server.
…and it worked this time no problem.
