I got 1 server that has 1 network port. Runs windows server os and has built in vpn enabled.
This server also has shared drives on it. This is connected to my vodafone gigafast router alone with few other computers.
So was wondering when someone vpns into the server the client machine gets an ip from the vpn and then can access network shares on the same computer,
Now heres where i started thinking do vpn clients go direct to the server and then to the hard drives in it or do they loop back to the switch and go back to the same physical machine to access the shares?
 
Well after setting up multiple physical machines on home network i managed to work out whats going on. A managed switch would have make things easier
