Cannot access folders on NAS via VPN
unable to access folders and files on NAS via VPN. I can see the NAS but I don't get access to anything on the NAS. Is it a port problem? I need a solution.

I can handshake the router at the NAS location via PPTP VPN and that is as far as I can get. Any further access is not possible.
I am using SMB
I cannot ping NAS
Windows PPTP VPN
I also tried Open VPN with only handshake results
Can you access or ping other devices behind the router at the NAS location?
What router are you using (manufacturer/model)? Is it running open source software, or the manufacturer's?
No I have no access beyond the handshake. I have access to the router using the IP and admin password but nothing direct.
The router on the Nas end is a T P Link AXE7800 Tri-Band Archer AXE95 6E Wi-Fi
The router from my access side is a Netgear RAX 75
I BELIEVE IT IS RUNNING MANUFACTERS

When you say "handshake", do you mean that the VPN client is connecting, but you have no access?
Are you testing this with a phone, or with a PC?
I haven't played with PPTP for years, but do use openVPN.
When you tried openVPN, did you export the configuration file from the router?
Also, did you use the same router settings as the example of page 69 of the manual?
I am getting access through the NAS router location but that is the extent of access (Handshake)
I am using a PC
I have tried Open VPN but with the same (Handshake) results
I will try your suggestion on page 65 of the TP Link manual and let you know results
I opened all the ports I thought needed as per instructions from the TP Link manual as you suggested. Is there another security solution that can be stopping me from gaining access to my netgear NAS? I am the administrator for the NAS
