i have a windows VPN server (PPTP) behimd my Nighthawk R7000 router but the router is not allowing VPN passthrough?? Any ideas?
I have ports 1723 TCP/UDP and GRE 47 TCP/UDP forwarded to my VPN server IP. Am i missing something? There used to be a checkbox to enable VPN passthrough but i dont see it on the nighthawk R7000? Its not allowing me to VPN into my network. Please help. Again this is for Windows VPN not the Open VPN client (which i do not want to use)

yes i forwarded manually and yes i selected vpn-pptp from the drop down. I was able to fix the problem though!!! I just removed the vpn-pptp service from the drop down and re-added pptp service again and now all is working fine.

Re: R7000 PPTP VPN not working
Did you manually forward the ports?
Did you try selecting the option for VPN-PPTP under Service Name?
That can be found in the Port Forwarding page.
Do you have the latest firmware installed?

Re: R7000 PPTP VPN not working
When you say re-added PPTP, you mean it's just Port Forwarding manually without the use of the VPN-PPTP service name?

I thought both services were used.
Thanks!
