I’ve been using a vpn on Windows 11 for a while, it’s working perfectly fine while my physical connection is ethernet to a normal router. But in my new place there isn’t a router, so I’m connecting to the internet via a EPON stick which basically bridge me stright to ISP So the set up is basically ISP <SC Fiber> EPON stick <SFP> SFP to Rj45 converter <rj45> Windows 11. I can communicate to the EPON stick as it’s in IP 192.168.1.1 and I’m 192.168.1.4, thought that is for local only, if I actually want to connect to the world, I need to dial in windows setting. So basically there is 2 adapter, the dial-up connection adapter and the physical ethernet adapter. Under this set up the VPN stopped working, the app showed that it’s connected but it’s actually not. Though sometimes this setup will work sometimes it won’t work, how do I figure out what is wrong with it? The DNS has been seted to ones that I know for sure will work, highest MTU possible to ping the vpn’s ip is ping -f -l 1452 207.174.6.254
Here is my route table, 207.174.6.254 is the ip of the VPN, and 100.75.102.9 is the dial-up connection’s ip, interface 61 “wintun” is the VPN. Note that no matter where I set the target geo location of the VPN, the IP will always be 207.174.6.254 which I don’t understand.
