Enabling VPN service on a NETGEAR router using a MAC OS computer
Hello, I am trying to enable VPN Service on my MR60 Router with Firmware Version V1.1.7.134_2.0.65. I followed this knowledge base https://kb.netgear.com/25389/Enabling-VPN-service-on-a-NET...
My guess is, "no". ICMP ('ping') is neither TCP nor UDP. (See https://www.pingplotter.com/wisdom/article/packet-type-differences/) and similar web sites.)
Honestly, I am amazed that using ports 22 and 23 for VPN allows a computer to open an ssh session through the VPN tunnel. "Learn something every day."
If the purpose is to perform command line access to a computer, then the efficiency difference between TCP and UDP would seem to be immaterial. (using a graphic interface and streaming video would be much more data intensive).
My first checks would be:
- Firewall on the LInux system.
- Can he ping other devices on the network over VPN?
