remote desktop disconnects when i connect to vpn on remote server

Question

I have a VPS running windows server 2012 R2. I need to connect to a VPN throw L2TP on this machine.

I connect to this server with remote desktop and everything is good. Also I created VPN connection. But when I enter VPN username and password and press connect, remote desktop hangs and disconnects instantly. And server needs to reboot to use again.

Any idea how to solve it?

Thank you but that question even does't have a verified answer. I've seen that before. — james hofer, Nov 03 '18 at 10:20

Problem solved. By unchecking "Use default gateway" in IPv4 and IPv6 settings of VPN properties.

This happened to me too. I don't have a "Use default gateway on remote network" checkbox to check. There is a solid workaround: use an alternate method to remote into the machine like GoToMyPC. It uses a different method of connecting, and in my case I was able to connect with it and then initiate the VPN connection without trouble.
