How To Run A Reverse Tcp For Mac Os X

I've been Google searching for a tutorial on how to do this, but I get plague by 'how to connect to VPN' articles and 'how to host PPTP VPN'. The only L2TP tutorials are too hard to follow or poorly written. I seem to have set it up properly because I can connect to the server's VPN by LAN. However, if I enter the public domain or IP, it doesn't connect. I have enabled forwarding for the ports 500, 1701, 1723, and 4500 to the server.

I also forwarded GRE and ESP. I know HOW to port forward because I have successfully forwarded other ports such as SSH to the server. My firewall security on my router is on the lowest setting. I still can't connect even if I make my server a DMZ host. Depending on the exact set-up of the network, L2TP requires UDP ports 500, 1701 and 4500 and the IP-ESP protocol, which is IP protocol 50; ESP. Other than ESP (which is protocol 50 and not port 50), these are UDP ports, and not TCP. TCP 1723 is used for PPTP.

It is common for L2TP passthrough to fail when more than one connection is active. As compared with L2TP, PPTP is usually easier to get going.

(NAT passthrough is something best avoided.) Also ensure your ISP is not blocking VPN connections. There are ISPs that block server-oriented ports on the residential service tier. (If you're on a business-class tier, ignore this.). Depending on the exact set-up of the network, L2TP requires UDP ports 500, 1701 and 4500 and the IP-ESP protocol, which is IP protocol 50; ESP.

(If you're on a business-class tier, ignore this.). Thank you for your reply. Sorry, I forgot to say that some of the ports I forwarded were UDP. My server firewall is not the problem because when I try to connect, I don't see any 'blocked' messages in the log. I forwarded UDP 500, 1701, and 4500.

I forwarded TCP 1723 because I was also going to try to get PPTP to work, but it didn't. I'm also forwarding GRE and ESP.

My setup seems to be within the requirements needed for VPN to work except that I don't know if my ISP allows VPN connections. I didn't know they were even allowed to block that because their statement says that they allow any traffic that is lawful. There is some talk about them blocking 443, 25, GRE, and inbound 80, but those are on old forums. They MIGHT actually be blocking GRE, 443, and 25 because I also can't host my mail service. My site works on port 80 though. FWIW, 'seems' is a comparatively hazardous choice when debugging networking access, and determining permissible access.
