I have not been able to find very much information about how to configure our GTA GB2000 for PPTP support. I have tried every combination I could think of and thought I understood how this works but I must be missing something.
Can someone please give me an email of a working PPTP config ?
Also I am trying to access the gta using OS X 10.5 PPTP and it works like a dream on a Fortigate firewall but I can not get this to work on the GTA.
We don't use PPTP since a long time ago because it not really secure anymore. We use OS X ourselves and for VPN access use this free client, that works very well with the GNATBox firewalls:
There used to be a support document on how to configure PPTP, but I don't think it was updated for the new interface after version 4. What version are you using?
Well as with all security it depends on what you are protecting and how much security you need. I am using 4.0 on the gb2000 and I will check out the mac client, appreciate the link.
Client Setup - Win95 Dialup Connection Create a Dial-Up Network configuration to your ISP. Create a Dial-Up Network configuration for PPTP by selecting Microsoft VPN Adapter instead of a modem.
Name the configuration "GNAT Box PPTP."
Enter the Host name or IP address of the External Network Interface of the GNAT Box.
LAN Connection Create a Dial-Up Network configuration for PPTP by selecting Microsoft VPN Adapter instead of a modem.
Name the configuration "GNAT Box PPTP."
Enter the Host name or IP address of the External Network Interface of the GNAT Box.
GNAT Box Setup - Create a GNAT Box tunnel to the NT PPTP server. Use TCP port 1723. Create a Remote Access filter that allows access to the PPTP tunnel. Adjust the filter to your local security policy. Save the filter and save the Remote Access filter set. Add a static route for the PPTP Virtual network and use the real IP address of the NT PPTP server as the gateway to the virtual network. PPTP access will now be enabled.
Using the PPTP VPN Establish a network connection, either via a dialup to an ISP or from a LAN. Click on the GNAT Box PPTP Dial-up Networking icon. If you haven't entered a password you will be prompted for one. After validation your PPTP connection will be established. You will now have a VPN tunnel to the NT server. Depending upon your configuration and protocols configured, you should be able to see local hosts in the Network Neighborhood. You should also be able to access TCP/IP based hosts, if proper routing on the NT server has been configure.
webs, ipsecuritas looks great ! Do you have any info on how you setup your gta to get this to work ? I used the IPS wizard but I must be missing a config issue on the gta side.
