So for the life of me I can not figure out why I have this weird issue.

I have a desktop and laptop at home. When the laptop is connected to VPN ( External work network ) I can rdp to it just fine. Now when it should be even easier to connect to only connected to my router and no VPN for some reason I can't ping it, I can't RDP into it.

It's connected to WiFi with no manual DNS settings or anything like that. Firewall is disabled completely, only the VPN connection has firewall rules set externally.

Router 192.168.2.1 ( ASUS RT-AC68U ) Desktop 192.168.2.100 ( ESET Firewall RDP allowed ) Laptop 192.168.2.159 ( No firewall )

  • Desktop is EoP LAN connected to router and Laptop is WiFi connected, both have an IP reservation in DHCP. I mean it works just fine while the laptop is VPN connected.

So it turns out the firewall was turning on when I disconnected from VPN which is strange because it showed as off for all connection types (domain, private and public) while connected to VPN.
