So on my server I have my website hosted as well as a file server that I use on my local network. So I was wanting to enable VPN access. I have two NICs se setting up VPN was no problem. I used the VPN and NAT option. Anyways, I enabled VPN and I can connect to the VPN server just fine. The only problem is it took down all my other services. My website no longer works, my exchange server went down etc. It seems that when I enable VPN, it blocks all other services. I removed VPN from the server and all returned back to normal. How to I get it so that VPN doesn't block all other services? I know it is possible, but I just don't know how. Thanks!

It is a security hole to allow that. The point of VPN is the private part.

There are plenty of posts on CN over the last year about how to enable it.

"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10
