I've read many related questions in this website but none of them were unfortunately 100% helpful for my situation, but they got me all the way to this point.
I have a VPN connection set up in Windows 10 settings. I do not have it's IP address, I only have its domain name. so I basically only have domain name + username + password and it uses PPTP/L2TP protocols.
I set my VPN connection location to Public.
set my WiFi connection location to Private.
in Windows Firewall, created a rule and blocked all outbound connections for domain + private network locations. (left out Public, which is the location of my VPN connection)
then in the same outbound section of Firewall, made an allow rule for this program:
C:\Windows\System32\rasphone.exe
and this one:
C:\windows\system32\rasdial.exe
and also made a 3nd allow rule for this port: UDP 53, (DNS lookup).
so despite doing all of that, I still can't connect to my VPN connection. what am I missing here?
