        I asked for the whole file, and yes, I need the whole file. The VPN part, and the headers, etc, where the PPTP things are defined among others. We can't help unless we get all relevant information.

        Save them as .txt files and attach them to the thread (or the open ticket about this)

              Should be fixed in new snapshots made after this post (there may be one in progress right now that would not include the fixes), so by tomorrow AM there should be a snap that works.

                  well i said i will leave feedback…

                  i try to upgrade my 1.2.3 installation since on test machine squidguard and pptp vpn works. (everything left by default)
                  After upgrade, PPTP VPN submenu freezes and it is imposible to change anything, and upgrade transfer all values (like radius port, ip address etc) as number 1.

                  Than i tried to restore configuration from old backup from 1.2.3 verson, and it didnt work well.
                  so i decide to go for fresh install...

                  I have configure everything and it works, except :) when you touch WAN firewall rules VPN does not work after that.

                  So you can set some random rule, and then delete it and VPN is not working any more.
                  also i tried to add firewall rule to wan interface to pass any source to ip adress of pptp vpn server by port 1723 no luck.
                  Also, on version 1.2.3 in wan interface firewall on single rule to block all pptp traffic was able to pass through, on pfs 2.0 it cant.
                  On client computer when trying to connect to VPN it hangs on, and it cant come to part verifying username and password.

                  is there some new configuration for pptp in pfs 2.0, or it still need small fix?

                    Those issues are unrelated to this thread, you'd be better off starting a new thread with a relevant subject to draw more attention. I haven't used PPTP on 2.0 myself much, some others have said it wasn't working, some said it was. Others may have tips.

                      also there is no PPTP VPN events in log ?
                      and as i said, it works until single firewall rule is added to WAN interface :(
                      after that, even if you delete all rules it is not working any more.

                      I know that this issues are not related any more with first problem (VPN crashes squidguard), but can we end this story with PPTP to end? or i have to open new topic in VPN or firewall ?

                      And, thank you for all your help

                        update to latest snapshot, reboot, add rule to firewall for wan interface to - pass port 1723 from any to wan-, and now works, silly, version 1.2.3 didnt need that.
                        Now, just to fix logging, it does not work.
                        Thanks for all help

                          I thought PPTP logs were under the PPP tab, you just need to press the PPTP button there. I may be wrong though, there's an open ticket for the logging.

                          Again though, a new thread with a more relevant subject would catch more eyes.

                          EDIT: I see you started a new thread, nevermind. :-)
