VPN client/server ( Windows ) RMD ..

[gilesgoat]

My configuration is something like this :

IN EXTERNAL port START 1723 END 1723 TO 192.168.0.XXX INTERNAL PORT START 1723 END 1723 TCP
IN EXTERNAL port START 500 END 500 TO 192.168.0.XXX INTERNAL PORT START 500 END 500 UDP
IN EXTERNAL port START 4500 END 4500 TO 192.168.0.XXX INTERNAL PORT START 4500 END 4500 UDP

And that's all I can do ..

I am not sure if there's anything else that I can/should do.

After various tests including one done with my bro 1 hour ago "the general consensus" ( including it seems from some MS sites ) is that "PPTP on windows is totally broken" and it's never going to work no matter what you try to.

There could be some truth in that, in fact I was using it pre Win10 then between that, the change of router/model and fibre "all went bananas".

"The general consensus" seems to be that the only free thing you can still install a server your own ( with some limitations but enough for what I need ) is to use the OpenVPN server/client, apparently there's still a "100% free Open Source Server/Client" you can install : https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/

Anything else "On windows native" seems really not to work as by not just one but you can find MANY threads like this : https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/win ... 458d40df8b

Getting to the conclusion that RRAS service / PPTP/L2TP on windows doesn't really work well.

So I don't know, I think I'll have to try to install/configure OpenVPN and see how it goes.
