      I have been running RC1 for a while and had no issues, but now I can't use PPTP to VPN to external networks. This was working fine whether the PPTP was enabled or not on my pfSense 2.0 RC1. I Just reconnected an old Cisco RV042 to verify and I can PPTP out with that fine. I tried the new update from last night and still not getting anywhere today.

        I reset to defaults and it is working again so it must have been a change in the builds that caused the issue.

          I noticed this problem a few days ago, but as I don't use outbound PPTP often I don't know how far back it goes.

          O'kay, just found another post that says this is a known issue, but I also seem to have the same issue if a GIF tunnel is open. Not sure if that's related.

            I confirm I see the same happening with snapshot pfSense-Full-Update-2.0-RC1-i386-20110417-0254.
            I need to disable the PPTP Server to allow outbound PPTP connections.

            When the PPTP Server is active, GRE outbound connections are duplicated, one is passing through without being NATed, the other is NATed but the GRE sequence number get changed.

              That is expected behavior. The PPTP proxy code was removed because it was causing panics and such. Without the PPTP proxy you can't run and server and host clients.

                How far back was the proxy removed? I need to roll back a few installs to get this back, but want to be as current as possible.

                      It looks like we'll have to wait until after the release until this gets fixed. I need this to work in order to use pfSense. As the last person asked, is there any way to get a build before the patch or do I just have to wait?

                        You could setup your own builder and reactivate the patch, assuming it still applies cleanly.

                        It was removed for good reason, it causes crashes/panics/hangs in its current state. I wouldn't consider using it for production at this stage.

                          it's worked good for me and many of my friends and customers. I'll set my own builder to build the latest i386 version with this patch. any good instructions how to set builder for feebsd newcomer (i have good redhat knowledge)

                            A stock FreeBSD 8.1 install is enough, works well in a VM. Just make the drive one slice (large /) and swap, don't try to make separate slices for /tmp, etc, like the installer auto-defaults to.

                            http://devwiki.pfsense.org/DevelopersBootStrapAndDevIso

                            The builder code is in pretty good shape these days, just when you build watch out that the first port build run usually fails, the second and rest succeed. For similar reasons, the first iso build usually fails, the second and later ones succeed.
