Re: VPN External Access



If you have the budget I would recommend you to get a router with a built in VPN server. I tried what you are trying to achieve but soon realized that doing this at the router does give you more security and depending on the router a wider variety of security features and/ or protocols.

I'm dealing with this exact issue right now (well, when I'm not at work). You do need to ensure that your router allows IPsec (ESP) passthrough in both directions. My cable router at home will allow it to passthrough from the internal network to the internet (outgoing) but not incoming.

I'll be buying a new router this afternoon.

I did it again, I sent to the original author rather then to the list.
But here it comes.


You have to point to the routers external address and then either use a VPN server built into the router or map port 1723 to the servers address.
The ports used by apple are described in the following document:


http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106439

Depending on the protocol you then use you may have to map some UDP ports as well

Hi All,

I have a Mac OSX Tiger Server which I am using for DHCP, DNS (internal network), VPN. After setting up the VPN I can connect internally by setting up VPN on a client machine (but running over the internal network). This server is connected to an ADSL modem router which has a fixed external IP address (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd).

Am I correct in saying to connect from the internet I set up the VPN on the client to go to that public IP address (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd)? And do I need to redirect any ports from the router to my internal machine which is running the VPN - if so which ones? Any pointers to documentation which shows how to do this are very welcome.

Regards,


Ian
