Hi there,

At home I have a TP-Link TL-WR1043ND with DD-WRT Build 14896. I have several computers connected to that router, and one of them I use as a server. It's a Windows 7 x64 machine with loads of files on it, you know the drill.

Recently I set up VPN (the built-in one) on that server, however I can't connect to it. I've forwarded port 1723 to the server, PPTP, IPSec and L2PT Passtrough are all enabled, the Windows firewall allows VPN connections, but still it doesn't work.

What I find strange is when I put my server in the router DMZ, it does work. So it seems that the router is still blocking something.

When I try to connect from my work, it gives me error 806, which tells me that one or more devices between the VPN client and Server are not configured to allow GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation). The problem is, I can't find any config page on DD-WRT on how to enable it.

Has anyone encountered this problem before and/or has a solution?

So basicly what you're saying is that PPTP is kind of a no-go, and IPSEC is pretty difficult to implement?
