Create a VPN


Recommended Posts

I need help setting up a VPN so I can get into my network/internet from my android phone. I have a D-Link 655 router that I need help with port forwarding to help direct a connect through into the computer on the network. When I remote in I want to be able to see my network shares and computers along with use my internet at home. All my computers run Win7. Thank you very much in advance.

And are you running some 3rd party firmware on that router? I don't believe it supports vpn on the native firmware? Are you wanting to pass traffic through to some other vpn server - if so what vpn server? There are lots of different types of vpn, ssl based (openvpn) and windows SSTP, ipsec, pptp, etc.

First you want a VPN, then you want to forward ports for services? 2 Different things.

I think you do really want a VPN, but keep in mind file access will be typically very slow over a standard consumer net connection.

You can either run a VPN server on your system, or install DD-WRT or something if supported on your router that has a built in VPN server.

Yeah -- notice the important/router section at the bottom

Important: Configure your firewall to allow access to TCP port 1723 to allow incoming Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) connection for VPN.

Router Configuration: Enable PPTP and Generic Route Encapsulation (GRE) on the Router. Depending on the type of router, you need to either enable PPTP or create a port forward to port 1723. If you?re router has an additional setting for PPTP or VPN, make sure it?s enabled. It?s usually called a ?pass-through? setting (i.e. PPTP pass-through or VPN pass-through)
