Hi,

Does the Bitdefernder VPN service support the management of running VPN as a service on Windows PCs for managing inbound connections (e.g. RDP over VPN from a remote location) or is it a privacy VPN only for internet browsing?

Thank you!

Hi @not_rick

As you surmised, the VPN is for internet browsing and cannot control any inbound connections like say a firewall could.

I know when I start a remote session, I have to disable the vpn, and keep it disabled, otherwise it breaks that connection.

Some just in case, FYI articles:

Interesting, I've never heard of that one before. I'll have to take a look into it.

Thanks for posting back :)
