[cobalt-users] Qube3 - Remote Access VPN

[Malcolm McLeary <mmcleary@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Guys,

Anyone had any success with Remote Access VPN AND the Basic Firewall?

I have a Qube3 set up as firewall for a small network via the Basic Firewall
capability.  Users on the inside are able to establish VPN connections to
remote servers, but I'm not having any success establishing a VPN from the
outside back in.

To get access to remote VPN servers I had to manually add a rule to
ipchains.conf to allow protocol 47 through but the only way to get a
connection the other way is to disable the Basic Firewall.

Port 1723 is open so I can establish a connection, but I can't get any
traffic to flow ... this happens with protocol 47.

Obviously ipchains is blocking the traffic, but I can't see why it is only
happening one way.

Anyone know what else I need to add to ipchains.conf to get this to work?

I have had this working with the Adaptive Firewall, but I'd prefer to use
just the Basic Firewall.

Cheers,  Malcolm
