VPN Server & Norton Personal Firewall

[John]

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone knew what settings I need to use in Norton
Personal Firewall in order to allow remote clients connect to the VPN
Server. The personal firewall is running on the VPN Server machine and
seems to be blocking ports needed to establish VPN Connections.

I know my VPN Server works because when I disable the personal firewall on
the host machine, the remote clients are able to connect.

Here's my setup:
Host Machine (VPN Server) - Windows XP Pro w/ Norton Personal Firewall
Remote Clients - Windows XP Home Edition

Thanks,
John

For access to your PPTP VPN server you need to open TCP Port 1723 and enable GRE Protocol 47
traffic. Check the Norton documentation or support web pages for help with that...

The ports that need to be open for VPN to work are:
PPTP, TCP 1723.

GRE, IP protocol 47.

L2TP 1701 without IPSEC
with IPSEC, 500 and protocol 50 (ESP)

Hi Everyone...

I will look and see if Norton personal firewall allows me to do such.

Just to add on - GRE (IP Protocol 47) support is often referred to as
PPTP Passthrough in SOHO routers/firewalls...
