PPTP passthrough

Post by helloworld »

Hi, I'm new to the Gargoyle firmware. I'm currently using it on TP-Link 1043ND and it's running great. Recently I setup a PPTP server running on a Synology box and has configured the firewall (on both 1043 and Synology) to pass PPTP traffic but still fails to connect it from outside. I think the problem is caused by the PPTP "passthrough" port which is blocked by default. As I can't find the appropriate settings inside the Gargoyle UI, I'm just wondering how I can open the port (I believe it should be a GRE port)?

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

;)

If you did a search on "VPN" you should have found the thread titled "Help setting up VPN client".
Link for the lazy: http://www.gargoyle-router.com/phpbb/vi ... f=5&t=2534

You will see that I had problems getting PPTP passthrough to work to my Windows7 VPN server. Basically what I had to do was:

1. Get a development environment - I used Ubuntu on VirtualBox.
2. use Git to clone the gargoyle environment (see the developer documentation on the gargoyle website: http://www.gargoyle-router.com/wiki/dok ... umentation
3. build a "custom" image where you have selected the additional VPN modules mentioned in the thread I linked to above.
4. flash your router with that image.

or you could just do this

opkg update
opkg install kmod-ipt-nathelper-extra

Thanks all, just wanna tell you guys that the problem is solved once I have enabled the OpenVPN service from the new firmware (I'm accessing the Synology VPN server instead). :D
