Re: PPTP server setup - access to router web GUI is ok, but no access to anything beyond the router

, thanks for the reply, the checbox "use GW on remote network" is checked on the Windows remote connection. It seems all good.

I have the list of routes on the Windows PC before and after the connection to the VPN and there are more routes popping up in the list...

Let me recap what I am looking for and what I have done, and maybe you could confirm if this should be all I needed to do or not?

I would like to be able to connect to my network from outside, as if I was on the LAN.

For that I configured PPTP server on the router as follows:

pptp {
        remote-access {
            authentication {
                local-users {
                    username FFFFFFFFFFFFFF {
                        password xxxxxxxxxxxxx
                    }
                }
                mode local
            }
            client-ip-pool {
                start 192.168.101.200
                stop 192.168.101.210
            }
            dhcp-interface eth0
            mtu 1492
        }
    }

I also added two rules to the WAN_LOCAL part of the firewall....

       rule 30 {
            action accept
            description "Allow PPTP"
            destination {
                port 1723
            }
            log disable
            protocol tcp
            state {
                established enable
                invalid disable
                new enable
                related enable
            }
        }
        rule 40 {
            action accept
            description "GRE for PPTP"
            log disable
            protocol gre
        }

Is that supposed to be all I needed to do to get remote access to my network or should I have added something else?

With that config, what I get is that I can connect to the router's GUI, meaning that there is "something" that is connected.. but I can not connect to anything else on the LAN.

On the client side, i feel rather comfortable that I did not do strange things as I was using a connection to the PPTP server running on my previous router (peplink)... And i have the same problem when connecting from my Android phone...

Also, one strange thing is that I seem to be able to ping the second LAN as well from the client connected to the VPN - I can ping 176.16.101.1... I did not expect that, not sure if this is something else or if it can be a sign of what my problem is?
