I tested setting up a Windows server (in the cloud) as a routing peer for a network and I could ping all other devices local IPs on that subnet, but could not ping or get to any resources for that specific server's local IP (the routing peer itself).
Is this not possible because its a routing peer or is there a special setting I need to inject to make that work. I have an alternative solution, Im just wondering if it was an error on my side or if this is not currently possible.

You may need to enable RemoteAccess Service

cmd running:

sc config  remoteaccess  start= auto
net start remoteaccess

@1350962574 Thank you! This was driving me crazy. This fixed it after I spent hours staring at Windows firewall logs, Wireshark captures and netbird debug trace.
