Hyper-V Manager Over VPN

Hi There,

I'm having terrible trouble connecting to my Hyper-V server via the Hyper-V Management Tools.

Server: 2012R2

Client: Windows 8.1

VPN Type: OpenVPN

I've managed to get everything working over the VPN, however I cannot load the Virtual Machine List in Hyper-V Manager. it gives the Error "RPC Server Unavailable."

I've tried hosts file entries on my client for the server, and also on the server for my client. It all works perfectly fine while I'm on the local LAN, but refuses to work over a VPN.

I can manage every other aspect of Hyper-V, I can create virtual switches and change settings, it just the Virtual Machine List that does not work.

I've come across the below link, which hasn't happened me to find a solution. I've dropped all firewalls to no avail.
