Ok so if I connect to my vpn locally via a local ip (192.168.2.221) it works fine I can see my server and my shared files but if I'm away from home and I try to coonect to my vpn via my public ip(67.68.**.**) I successfuly connect but I cannot see my server in the network tab or anything...

would this be a port forward problem? because I already port forwarded 1723 over tcp and udp... am I missing something here?

here is a screenshot of my port forwarding: https://gyazo.com/e605043aa40122cf36957857ce306935

Solution
Try to open the share via the server IP. The list of shares you see many times is based on devices sending out broadcast messages. Many times these broadcasts to not get carried over the vpn.
