Using windows 10 as a router

Question

_{Saturday, September 1, 2018 7:20 PM}

I have a windows 10 PC which is connected to my work vpn via tap adapter.

I have enabled Routing and Remote access on this. This has two IPs from Home router which is 192.168.10.* and one from work vpn which is 192.168.21.*

I am able to access work network from this PC which is 192.168.20.x

I added this PC(192.168.10.*) as a gateway on my other PCs at home.

I want other PCs in the home network to be able to access the systems at work.

But i am not able to ping the work network from my other home PC(192.168.10.*).

I also tried adding a static route 

route add 192.168.20.* MASK 255.255.255.0 192.168.10.* Metric 500

on my PC(192.168.10.*) but still I am not able to ping work network.

You need to open the tab Sharing and then set the option Allow other users [...] on the properties of your tap adapter. On each of your other PCs set the gateway address manually to the IP address on the home network of the VPN PC.

  You normally cannot route anything through a VPN connection. VPN is a point-to-point connection, not a routed one.

  IN any case, routing is a two-way process. Setting a route to move traffic from one subnet to another is pointless if there is no route at the other end to get the return traffic back!
