Default VPN



I am having trouble getting my VPN up and running. I
have ports 1701-UDP/TCP and 1723-UDP/TCP open but when I
try to connect outside of my network, it dont work. I
can connect inside my network with any of the computers,
but that means the server is running fine, but the
NAT/Firewall is not. I'm I missing some ports?

Default Re: VPN

If you are using PPTP, the connection will fail if the router/firewall
(or anything else in the path) blocks GRE. GRE (IP protocol 47) is required
on input and output, because the encrypted VPN data is carried by IP packets
with a GRE header. PPTP just sets up and maintains the tunnel.
