you need to start by telling us what you're trying to connect with... ssh, http, ftp, vnc, rdp, could be a million different things. Generally a "connection refused" message when it works locally suggests a firewall is in the way somewhere.

Hi,

I suspect that your VPN connection gives you a different IP range than your LAN so you might want to have a look at your firewall and permit SSH from VPN to LAN.
