Teamviewer VPN blocked by Windows Firewall
I am using Teamviewer 9 and would like to use the VPN option. I installed it all and it works perfectly only if I turn off the Windows firewall on my VPN target. Teamviewer.exe ia already allowed through. Does anyone know what rules I need to setup to let the VPN tunnel through? Both machines are Windows 8.1.

I also had this problem, and it could also be easily bypassed by turning off firewall - however I said NO to that solution (for security reasons).....
I solved this by setting sharing options (no Firewall settings were needed):
- Go to Control Panel => Network and Sharing Center
- On the left, click on Change advanced sharing settings
- Expand the network profile your TeamViewer VPNetowrk is in (probably Public profile)
- SOLVING POINT: In sub-section File and printer sharing choose Turn on file and printer sharing
- (optional but security) As you may be on more public networks, not just TeamViewer VPN:
For security reasons you should also set this in that network profile:- Network discovery => Turn off network discovery
- Public folder sharing => Turn off Public folder sharing (...)
- Password protected sharing => Turn on password protected sharing
- If you can, choose the best encryption you can (probably 128bit)
Allowing TCP port 445 worked for me.
Go to "Windows Firewall" then "advanced setting" then go to "Windows Firewall Properties" There are 3 tabs: Domain Profile, Private Profile, Public Profile Go to each tab Choose "Allow" under "Inbound Connections" and reboot the computer It will resolve the problem
