Hi all,

I'm setting up port forwarding for an L2TP VPN connection to the local Windows 2003 VPN server. The router is a simpel Debian machine with iptables. The VPN server works perfect. But I cannot log in from the WAN. I'm missing something.

The VPN server is using a pre-shared key (L2TP) and give's out an IP in the range: 192.168.3.0. Local network range is 192.168.2.0/24

I added the route: with route add -net 192.168.3.0 netmask 255.255.255.240 gw 192.168.2.13 (the vpn server)

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp --dport 1701 -i eth0 -j DNAT --to 192.168.2.13
iptables -A FORWARD -p udp --dport 1701 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp --dport 500 -i eth0 -j DNAT --to 192.168.2.13
iptables -A FORWARD -p udp --dport 500 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp --dport 4500 -i eth0 -j DNAT --to 192.168.2.13
iptables -A FORWARD -p udp --dport 4500 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p 50 -j DNAT --to 192.168.2.13
iptables -A FORWARD -p 50 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p 51 -j DNAT --to 192.168.2.13
iptables -A FORWARD -p 51 -j ACCEPT

The whole iptables script is (without the line's from above):

    echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
    echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syncookies
