Re: Almost OT : ANyone got MS Windows VPN Server working behind their NAT router ?

Hi,

Why don't you use a SSL connection to your web server.
You can do basic authentication over SSL and then this issue is solved.

If you talk about PPTP then you need to pass two things in order to works:
- TCP port 1723
- GRE protocol (47)

If the second is not passed, the authentication failed.
One easy way to solve this is to put your VPN server in DMZ.

Please be more specific in order to be able to give you more help:
- Type of VPN used
- type of router
- type of VPN server

BR,
Dan
