Which ports to forward for a VPN server that sits behind a firewall?
Question pretty much says it all.
From what I have found, it seems that port 1723 is the main port to forward, but I also see numerous references to others ports.
The server that is hosting the VPN is a Windows 2008 Server.
Solution 1:
What protocol is the VPN server using, PPTP, L2TP, IPSEC?
- PPTP uses TCP port 1723 and protocol 47
- L2TP uses UDP port 1701
- IPSEC uses UDP port 500 and protocols 50 and 51
