Manually restricting outside VPN access in 2.0

scoob8000 · Apr 16, 2011, 8:09 PM

This somewhat of a crosspost (sorry) of my thread in the PPTP section.

Some of what I've read on the forum leads me to believe we can modify the automatically created VPN rules in the GUI.

For example: I only want to allow incoming PPTP connections from specific IP's/networks.

Disable the automatic VPN rules under System > Advanced, then make your own rules to pass GRE and tcp/1723 to the WAN IP.

I must be totally blind, I've been over every tab and option under system > advanced and can't find that option. :) :D :(

Which tab should it be under, in advanced? (/system_advanced_admin.php) ?

You have to be on a recent snapshot or it doesn't show up. It's under System > Advanced on the Firewall/NAT tab

That would explain it! It's not there yet! :)

I assume I can just go to firmware, auto upgrade. Are the latest snapshots considered "stable" enough for home use? :)

The latest snaps should be fine, yes.

Bingo, updating to the latest snapshot made it show up! Thanks!
