Windows 10 VPN connected, No internet through client
So I am trying to set up a VPN using a computer in another location to access region locked content. I have set up a PPTP connection through another computer that works successfully. I can connect to the server. However, After connecting to the server, the client machine loses access to the internet. Both the server and the client are Windows 10.
I have tried ticking the box in the adapter settings that says "Use default gateway on remote network".
Network adapter settings
I am sure it is an error on the server because I had a friend of mine setup a VPN the exact same way that I set up the one that isn't working and I could connect to his and use the internet. And when I would check my IP address, the IP came up as being from his location, which is the entire point of this.
I have played around with the router firewall settings to no avail. I am not really sure how to troubleshoot exactly where the connection is not getting through. On the client machine, all I have really done is determined that it is not a DNS issue. I cannot ping 8.8.8.8 (Google). I can however ping my client's gateway, but I can not ping the server's gateway. Beyond that, I am not sure how else to troubleshoot it. Hope to receive some help. Thanks.
Another thing I tried that worked was this
PS C: > Set-VpnConnection -Name "YOURVPN" -SplitTunneling $True -PassThru
Which did allow me to use the internet on the client machine. However, it was routing data through my network, instead of the VPN. Which is not something that I want to do with this VPN.
I realize it would be easier to just pay for a VPN service but unfortunately the content I am trying to access has blacklisted the two VPN services that I have tried. I assume a lot of people try to use those services which is what gets them blacklisted.

What is the “server” OS? How did you configure the server?

Both machines are windows 10. And I configured it using the windows 10 wizard for VPNs. If you go to settings and then Network, there's a tab for VPN. Similar to here hide.me/en/vpnsetup/windows10/pptp

What is the “server” OS? How did you configure the server?
– Appleoddity
Dec 9 at 23:25
Both machines are windows 10. And I configured it using the windows 10 wizard for VPNs. If you go to settings and then Network, there's a tab for VPN. Similar to here hide.me/en/vpnsetup/windows10/pptp
