So I had been following This tutorial on how to set up VPN on my server. It's some dedicated server I have with Strato, and can acces through RDP.

The tutorial follows some very simple steps

  • Execute Install-WindowsFeature DirectAccess-VPN -IncludeManagementTools in power shell.
  • Open RRAS, and follow the setup wizard.

With big red markings, not much can go wrong there.

However, after clicking ok on a message stating “To support the relaying of DHCP messages from remote access clients, you must configure the properties of the DHCP Relay Agent with the IP address of your DHCP server.” my RDP connection promptly got closed, and I became unable to access it.

Now through strato I do have access to a SSH putty console, allowing me to do things in cmd/powershell/sh with full admin rights. However, all online resources speak of rras, and it's UI interface, which I can't currently access.

Now I figure that either undoing the first VPN steps or completing the DHCP linking will allow me to access the server again through RDP. Which leads up to my question, can I round up this configuration through console, or thus undo it so that the server becomes accessible through RDP again?

It seems there was an alternative to the 2 options.

by executing net stop remoteaccess through the remote connection, the server became reachable through RDP again.
