[vpn-help] Can't RDP over VPN in metro RDP app

[Jim Harle]

I'm having the same experience. I believe the issue is that modern apps don't "hook in" to the network stack the same way the desktop does, and hence the filtered IPSec connection isn't available to them.

Subject: [vpn-help] Can't RDP over VPN in metro RDP app

I have a strange issue.  I recently purchased a Lenovo Tablet 2 running windows 8.1.  My company uses the Cisco 5.0 VPN client.  This client doesn't work with Windows 8 so started using Shrewsoft  which seemed to work well.  My issue is that I can't connect to any computer on my domain when connected to VPN while using the rdp app from metro mode however if I switch to the desktop and launch the rdp app from there I can connect fine.  The metro app is a lot more touch friendly so I would prefer to use that one.   If I am on the local network (not using VPN)  I can connect to computers using the app in metro mode just fine.  This is really baffling me.  A co-worker of mine did the same test and had the same problem so I am thinking it has something to do with the VPN client since we can both RDP fine with the app when on the local network.  Anyone have any ideas?
