VPN disrupts local network?
I installed Mullvad VPN on my Mac mini, running Catalina, and got it all configured. I was happy with it, so I logged into my home server on my home network (A Mac mini running Mojave) using screen sharing, and installed the Mullvad there too.
After the app on the server connected to the VPN, the local connection was lost, and now I cannot reconnect to the server either through file share or screen share. The server isn't appearing in the sidebar under network. I cannot connect through the go menu using the server's local IP address either. The same is true when I try to connect to the server from my MacBook. (I can connect the macbook to the desktop, and vice-versa)
Nor can I connect to it using the VNC viewer on my iPad. But when I use the Net Analyzer app, I can see the server's IP address connected to the network.
I wouldn't think the VPN would disrupt the local network, but is it possible that's what happened?
Do I need to dig the server out and plug in a screen and keyboard to troubleshoot?
