Windows file share access via Remote Access VPN

Areef — Mon, 18 May 2020 03:29:24 GMT

I just configured the VPN access on my firewall (R77.30) and give access to Web Appliaction. All the clients are using check point remote access VPN client on windows 10. All the users can access the WebServer without any issue.

However this web application is design to display some files saved on shared folder in the server. Once user click the file link withing the web application it open the PDF files saved on shared folder In new browser window.

File path is look like this

File://servername/shareFolder/filename.ext

This file open locally without any issue but these links not working once we access this application via VPN and try to open it.

Can someone please tell me how can I access this shared folder via VPN using check point remote access VPN client on windows.

Please find the attached image of access rule I configured

Thank you

Your VPN rule doesn't have any SMB-type services in it, or at least it's not clear from the unobscured parts of the screenshot that it is included.

Yes. Currently I just allowed http and HTTPS only. What port do I have to open?

How about adding the service "smb" to your rule?
