router supporting VPN (cheap)

edscdk · 26 Jun 2012 at 15:05

any suggestions, its for a small office (3 users) but only one will VPN in

the cheaper the better, ideally does not require client softawre installed on the in comming machine.

Does your office have a windows domain environment as VPN functionality is built in

it has a 2008 foundation server however I have installed and removed and reinstalled RRAS it jsut will not work correctly..

two PC's jsut time out no matte rhow many settings I tweak, my iphone connects to the VPN fine but cannot access the server..

my home PC refuses to connect unless I remove my home router and stick my pc straight on the insternet then it will connect fine but it also cannot ping / browse the server (pingging by ip and set home lan subnet to a different one to the office)

Have you forwarded port 1723 and protocol 47 to the RRAS server?

What errors (server side) is the failing connection producing, if any?

Have a look at the Draytek Vigor 2830n. I don't think PPTP VPNs are the most secure, but the built-in Windows client works a treat (untick use as default gateway and configure server as primary DNS in the VPN TCP/IP details).

yer tried all that, both siades say the other side times out... when it fails

in the scenarios' where it conencts (ie from my phone and when direcly on the internet) there are obviously no errors
