Setting up VPN Passthrough to connect to VSRO anywhere from the internet
Server Side: what should be done on the computer with VSRO files setup and running.
Client: What should be done on the computer connecting to the VSRO server.
DDNS: Dynamic DNS
static IP: Ip that does not change
Dynamic Ip: Ip that changes whenever router is restarted.
TCP & UDP: Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP)is a transportation protocol that is one of the core protocols of the Internet protocol suite. Both TCP and UDP work at transport layer TCP/IP model and both have very different usage.
Server Side:
2nd: Open upMake sure that your computer has a Static IP address (preffered but not required).
These are the ports you need to forward inside your router.
TCP/47 GRE, TCP/1723 for PPTP, TCP/1701 for L2TP and TCP-UDP/500 for ISAKMP, CISCO
Port forward to the static IP (can be ddns/dynamic ip) of the server (Windows 7 Computer)
3rd, open up any router & firewall ports on your computer to allow traffic to go in and out (such as vsro ports?).Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections
Click on ALT on keyboard and then click on NEW >> Incoming Connection
Put the users you want to allow to connect to the Windows 7 VPN server., once that is setup... it will have an icon in the network folder.
4th, on the client computer (the one dialing into the server)
-------------------------Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center
>> setup a new connect or network
connect to a workplace, then of course put the information into the upcoming menus through the wizard, for the IP address, that would be the WAN port your Router is carrying from the ISP
You could buy or rent a Domain and then have the router use DDNS, that way instead of remembering the IP address (which being dymanic) could change all the time, the router will udpate the IP address with the DDNS server and you can just use the domain to connect.
I have an extra menu in my router settings to enable vpn, I can't access your routers GUI so just look around for that as well.
Some routers support vpn via telnet only so use the commant telnet Default Gateway to check all the extra stuff your router can do. To find your Default Gateway run cmd, type ipconfig and press enter. Check a router specific guide for more details.
If you think i have made an error or left something vital out let me know.
