PPTP VPN to work

vuthappa
Hi,
 I am new to astaro internet security. Can someone please tell me how I can set up a VPN to work. Before installing astaro i used to connect via PPTP. Now it doesn't connect at all, obviously  because astaro is blocking the port. I have tried opening port 1723 and still doesn't work. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

    Look in the packet filter log to see what else is being blocked.

    Thanks BAlfson.
         I checked my packet filter log and saw that the traffic is still being blocked. This is my log file.
    19:06:02 Default DROP TCP 10.1.1.254: 50026→ 210.15.x.x:1723 [SYN] len=52
    19:06:05 Default DROP TCP   10.1.1.254 :50026→210.15.x.x:1723[SYNlen=52

    The settings i have done is:

    Definitions:
    Network:  VPN_Client --> Host -->10.1.1.254 (PC trying to connect to work VPN).


    Network Security

    Packet Filter    Source:VPN_Client
                                  Service: PPTP
                                  Destination: External (WAN) Network.


    NAT           Traffic Source: Any
                              Traffic Service: PPTP
                              Traffic Destination: External (WAN) Network
                               NAT Mode: DNAT
                               Source: VPN_Client

    Can you please tell me where i am going wrong??? Thank you


    cheers

    Packet filtter should be to "Any" instead of "External (WAN) Network" and the DNAT should not be necessary unless you want to allow anyone anywhere to connect to your VPN client.  The correct PF rule is all that's needed for the client to connect to any host.
