SMB over VPN (IKEv2) not working under 11.4

we have Problems with a SMB connection over VPN under MacOS 11.4


the computer works fine in the company and the file-server (SMB) is reachable


traceroute to 192.168.0.20 (192.168.0.20), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets

 1  xxxxxxxxxxx.intern (192.168.0.XXX)  36.426 ms  35.926 ms  37.643 ms

 2  192.168.0.20 (192.168.0.20)  37.591 ms  42.375 ms  37.579 ms


now the computer is in home office and we configure a VPN (IKEv2) connection. The vpn connection works fine and the link to our telekom system works fine, but when we try to connect to the file-server over smb it won't work.

Make sure your VPN server/gateway allows smb traffic over the needed port(s).
