VPN on DrayTek 2830 was created by jacob922
Hello everybody,

I am new to DrayTek routers and I can honestly say made so much research and still cannot resolve my problem.
Basically here in my office we have VPN connections to various sites across the UK.
We have new DrayTek 2830 Firewall in our office and I don't know how to set this up so all users in our office (1 subnet) can establish connection with different VPNs.
How do I set up so router allows PPTP VPN?

Any clues?

I really hope someone can help me or guide in correct direction!

I guess it is simple, but I can't work out how it works!

Thanks in advance everybody,
Jacob

Are you using a Windows RAS or the 2830 as the VPN server?

We use the 2830 as the VPN server.

in that case...
create a remote dial-in user for each account with a password and then use either Windows built in RAS client or the Draytek VPN Clint and point it to the external address of you DrayTek.
Make sure the PPTT option is ticked in the Remote Access control section
Personally I would use L2TP over IPSEC as PPTP is floored and not as Secure

These should help too...

Hi!

I think you misunderstood me! :-)

We don't have VPN server on site, we are connecting to many different VPN's across the UK. We get VPN address, username & password.
I just want to ensure ports for VPN are open so we can establish connection.
What do I do in order to achieve that?
I don't configure any kind of site to site VPN, or nobody dials-in to our VPN.

We just connect to different VPNs across the UK but now we are unable because VPN traffic is blocked by the router.

Oh OK I thin I get what you mean now. You would need to untick the VPN options in Remote access control and then the router should pass the VPN traffic through from the outside.
You will need to open the ports to the VPN server that does authenticate you though.

If what I have said is not right then can you explain the topology so I can help further
