MS VPN thru Wingate

[javila]

Hi to all,
Anyone knows how to design a configuration to stablish an VPN connection between an Microsoft VPN Client that tries to connect to my RAS Server/Domain Controller that is behind my wingate firewall?.
The DC admins the name resolutions locally, wingate is targeting to that DNS server.
Any help is welcomed. Thanks.

Hi Javila

In this case you need to open (port 1723 from memory) in the WinGate firewall. You can do this through the port security tab in the ENS configuration in Gatekeeper.

Select the "connections from the Internet" option and tell the port mapping to "redirect the packet" to the IP address of the RAS/DC machine. This way the incoming VPN traffic will be sent straight to the DC.

Hope this helps

Regards

Hi, and thanks for the answer.
Now I have moved the RAS service to the same machine that wingate is installed (at the border of the LAN, where should be ina first instance), I am going to test it there the service trying to connect an ms vpn client.
Any suggestion?, is wingate vpn a better alternative? I have tested before and it could not connect to the server but the server could connect to the client (when the client created a session to accept incomming connections) but when connected none of both could access any of both networks (none server neighter client).
I will be trying and waint some advice here, please. Thank you in advice.

Hi Javila

The benefit of using WinGate VPN is that apart from WinGate controlling the Internet connection and providing Internet access to everyone, is that it can also use and manage WinGate VPN connection at the same time.

Remember you will have to have to have WinGate installed on each end (LAN and remote) so they can create a WinGateVPN.

You can about WinGate VPN on our websitefor more info.
