wah wah wah.....
now how about reality? i have RRAS setup to allow incoming PPTP VPN
connections on many DC's and it works flawlessly. yes youll get the
occassional warning or browser error in the logs but it does not hurt
functionality in any way.
setup RRAS (its built in). your firewall will have to allow port 1723 for
PPTP VPN traffic, and the GRE protocol. GRE usually only needs port 47 but
different product will use different terminology. for instance on a linksys
router the term "allow PPTP passthrough" automatically allows GRE.
hope this helps
