Hi to all,

I have the ASUS RT-AX88U router. I use openvpn to vpn into my home network from anywhere. I can do it from my iphone and also my laptop. When I first configured it for my laptop, I mapped my NAS share and it was added as a network drive and worked perfectly. After sometime, it won't connect if I use my laptop to access my home network remotely. I mean, the laptop will be as if it is a local machine in my home network, but I won't be able to access the NAS share drive. I can ping my NAS, and I can also access its GUI and navigate files from there but I can't access the share drive from file explorer which is weird. If I remove the drive and try to map it again, it won't work also. Of course, If I connect my laptop to my LAN normally via WiFi when I'm at home it will work. What gives?
