PPTP doesn't work

ericopf · Dec 2, 2010, 6:46 PM

I'm having trouble to connect a PPTP connection my pfsense.

I'm using pfsense 2.0 BETA4.

It established the connection, but on client Windows occurs the Error 619.

I'm not a expert, I need to know if I need to add some Firewall Rule to accomplish that, I don't think so because connects normally, or It's just a bug from pfsense 2.0.

Thanks a lot!

pfSense and windows are not agreeing in options. Mostly configurations problems nothing to do with firewall rules.

I try every configuration at Windows and Linux, both return the same error..

How do I need set up my PPTP Client ?

Thanks..

Now I can connect successfully, I change some configurations on my windows, now it works normally.

But when I try on any other computer, doesn't work with the same configurations.

And when I go back in my computer on the configurations that doesn't work before, now works with any configuration. ???

This is very strange, I can't figure it out.

UPDATE: same situation for Win7, but it says: ERROR 619. Failed when trying autenthicate user (from local pfsense database).

TooMeek,

Sincerely I don't know how it works on my WinXP, just works one time, but only works in my PC, all others PCs doesn't work.

I just gave up of PPTP and start using OpenVPN, much better, much safer.
