MacOS cannot see internal devices was created by aaronf
When I connect to my IKEv2 VPN on my Windows computer, I can access all my internal network shares. On my Mac i am unable to do that. It also cannot see any of the internal devices on the LAN.

They won't automatically appear in the Finder as macOS uses network broadcast technologies (Bonjour) to discover them and that doesn't work down a VPN. Instead:

Open Finder / Go Menu / Connect to Server

Server name is "smb://<your computer IP>"
