I use Microsoft's remote desktop from my cell phone, to connect to a computer at work. When I am connected to this new router via Wi-Fi, remote desktop says it cannot find my work computer. If I dissconect from this new router and try any other Wi-Fi or my Verizon 4g cell phone network, remote desktop is able to find my work computer and connect. Sorry I do not know what a VPN is.
