Hello people, first of all I've been using Mint since a year without any trouble as my workstation to connect via VPN to my Windows Desktop at my workplace using Remmina without any issue until few weeks ago and I am not sure if it was an update or what happened but the situation is as follows:
1) I can connect to my job's VPN (Using L2TP with Preshared Key), not problem, working still today
2) I can not connect using Remmina to Server, neither by the hostname or IP, it used to work only by Local IP so it was OK
Now... I thought at first it was a Remmina issue but then I noticed I can't reach the machine using ping, so I am not sure if there is a validation/security issue between Mint and the VPN Server
I tried on Windows and it worked and I tried it on Manjaro today since I was testing and it worked as well!! So I thought "Damn, is this a Mint issue? What is going on? Why did it stopped working when I didn't modify the connection/credentials and it is working without issue on Manjaro?"
I have no clue on what to check, since as I said first I thought it was a Remmina issue and uninstalled and removed files, etc, re-installed, always the same, but now as I see I can't even reach the machine using Ping to the LAN Network I am wondering what could it be, but on the same machine, same internet connection it works on Manjaro...
Is there anything I can try/test/check? Here is the info of my system:

Thanks to whoever answers with at least a lead on what to check about this problem, the OS is quite clean because I used it mainly to connect via Remmina using the VPN for over a year and not really much, Firefox for web browsing and two or three standard programs, nothing really crazy or modifications over the system.
