Windows 10 IP route not working for VPN connection

[MartinQuevedo]

I am on Windows 10 Home Version 1903

I have installed SonicWall VPN (as a workaround) and Cisco VPN client. My VPN client shows "connected" a few secs after I start the vpn session

VPN Client creates the following IP Interface on my Windows

Ethernet adapter Ethernet 3:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::745b:83cd:3481:761f%12
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 172.77.0.114
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.248
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :


And also Configures the following IP Routing rules

IPv4 Route Table
===========================================================================
Active Routes:
Network Destination Netmask Gateway Interface Metric
172.16.0.0 255.255.0.0 172.77.0.113 172.77.0.114 100
172.77.0.112 255.255.255.248 On-link 172.77.0.114 291
172.77.0.114 255.255.255.255 On-link 172.77.0.114 291
172.77.0.119 255.255.255.255 On-link 172.77.0.114 291


I am supposed to connect to remote server IP address

172.16.14.65


when I execute the following PowerShell command line

Find-NetRoute -RemoteIPAddress "172.16.14.65" | Select-Object ifIndex,DestinationPrefix,IPAddress,InterfaceAlias,NextHop,RouteMetric -Last 1


I get this result

ifIndex : 12
DestinationPrefix : 172.16.0.0/16
IPAddress :
InterfaceAlias : Ethernet 3
NextHop : 172.77.0.113
RouteMetric : 65


So, what I get from this is that the route should work as expected.

I am running wireshark on Ethernet 3 interface and I am checking on traffic on this interface.

When I try to ping 172.16.14.65, I do not see any traffic going through this interface in Wireshark as a matter of fact, when i sniff traffic on all interfaces, i dont see any icmp traffic at all

Can anyone show me some pointers as to what could be wrong here ?

best regards, Martin
