Hello.
So I have a FWG and my work has me on a Meraki device. I can remote desktop out to my work machine no problem. However, when I go into the office and remote in to my home work machine it was working for a couple of weeks and now I can see my desktop for about 5 seconds and then I get an error that it can't connect.
The FWG is setup in Router mode and I split up the home and work on different LANs. Is there something I should be looking out for in the logs? I looked in the blocked section and I am not sure what I would be looking for. Any suggestions? I also tried opening the 3389 ports and saw the same result.

  Are you using WireGaurd? If you are, don't share profiles.

  Another thing, if you are VPN home from work, best ask your IT and make sure they are not blocking VPN. (This is likely, since your connections works and then drop ...)

  I use WireGuard on my phone and personal computer but not on my work computer. They only allow us to install certain applications for work. Also with work we were using other VPNs until I received the Meraki which allows me a direct connection. I will reach out to IT and see if they blocked something.
  Can a setup a network switch before FWG to split work off on it's own?

  you can have multiple networks via your Firewalla. Each of the firewalla port is routable, so you can create a LAN on port 1 and a LAN2 on port 2 ... and your devices will be isolated.

  I just wanted to follow-up and mention that my work IT found an known issue with RDP from work into the Meraki. Hopefully they will solve it soon. Thanks for the ideas and quick response.

  You mean this is a Meraki issue? through meraki firewall?
