IPsec or PPTP?

Hi,

depending on what kind of VPN you are trying, different ports are necessary.

Do you try an IPSec or PPtP VPN?

All Ports Required
----------
The ports that need to be opened For different type are

For IPSec

UDP 500
ESP 50,
AH 51,
UDP 4500
TCP 10,000
UDP 10,000

ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload) is not port 50, but protocol 50
AH (Authentication Header) is not port 51, but protocol 51
UDP 500 ISAKMP (Internet Security Association Key Management Protocol)

All IKE Clients and LAN-to-LAN IKE tunnels require UDP Port 500 and their
respective protocol to establish a tunnel.

ISAKMP is a protocol framework that defines the mechanics of implementing a key
exchange protocol and negotiation of a security policy. ISAKMP is defined in the
Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP).

This is in reference to RFC 2408

http://www.faqs.org/r fcs/rfc2408.html

Here is a Interesting URL to read about ports for IPSec

http://www.cisco.com/ univercd/cc/td/doc/produc t/software/ios113ed/113t/ 113t_3/ipsec.htm

For PPTP

GRE 47
TCP 1723
TCP 139
UDP Netbios-NS
UDP Netbios-DGM

PPTP "This protocol uses a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection that uses port 1723 and an
extension of Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) (protocol 47) to carry the actual data (PPP frame).

For L2TP


L2TP 115
TCP 1701
UDP 1701
