VPN connection issues on GR614 v9
Hello experts I have to admit that I know close to nothing about networks/routers etc (although I have been working in IT for past decade) so please go easy on me:) I have been with Virgin Media...
June, thanks for prompt reply, however as I mentioned I am a total rookie in this area so let me see if I got it right...
The only DMZ setting I can find is "Default DMZ Server" where I need to assign IP. First of all my internet provider does not supply fixed IP (nor my customer requires it in order for VPN connection to work). Will your suggestion regarding DMZ still hold then?
If it does then would it be fair to say that what I need to do is to assign to a PC I am using for VPNing a internal fixed IP and then use same IP as a "Default DMZ Server"?
Also, according to documentation specifying a Default DMZ Server can pose a security risk so I am not sure if I should go ahead with that.
On the subject of opening ports all I can find in the settings of my router is "Port Forwarding" and "Port Triggering" but its all black magic to me.
Could you please provide a bit more detail explanation (preferably step-by-step procedure or perhaps link to some blog or something) on how to go ahead about implementing what you have suggested? I am sorry but as I said I know very little (almost nothing) about networking.
