Hi there everyone. I have a little problem, and I thought that you guys could help me fix it. Can I somehow make it possible to access printer while using VPN? My PC at home is connected to my PC at work using VPN, and I cannot print locally while I am connected to it. I was browsing through the options, but I cannot find a solution. Any ideas?

Well, as far as I know, the point of VPN is making a communication before two computers secure. That is why you cannot print. But, if this is the issue you face at your work, I wouldn’t mess with it, I would just ask network administrator and ask him to solve it to you. I mean, there is a solution to every problem, so there is a solution to this one also, but it will bring you a security issue, and i am not sure if you are willing to mess with it. The printer can, for example, even though it is remote be installed as a local port.
