hi guys, what ports do i need to open for vpn? 1723, 47, 50, and 500 do i need to open these ports for VPN to work? Thanks in advance.

If you mean strictly VPN then these ports should be opened: TCP/47 GRE, TCP/1723 for PPTP, TCP/1701 for L2TP and TCP-UDP/500 for ISAKMP, CISCO etc (only in case of using L2TP) Regards, Krzysztof ---- Visit my blog at http://kpytko.wordpress.com

Hello, that depends of the VPN tunnel type that you want to use. As an exemple: SSTP: port 443 TCP PPTP: 1723 .... More if you ask them here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserversecurity/threads For checking, you can use PortQry v2.
