Change Default PPTP Port On Server And Client

  • 7

How can I change default PPTP port on RRAS in windows 2003 ?
I want to change port from 1723 to any other port which is open ! because my ISP blocked port 1723 !

And should I make any changes on client side ?

Note I don’t want to use openvpn or iPig .

thanks

  1. That would be a very unusual port for a isp to block. I suspect you are confusing the port being blocked by the isp and being closed by your router.

    Do you understand you need for forward port 1723 to your server?

    FYI
    PPTP

    •To allow PPTP tunnel maintenance traffic, open TCP 1723.
    •To allow PPTP tunneled data to pass through router, open Protocol ID 47.
    L2TP over IPSec

    •To allow Internet Key Exchange (IKE), open UDP 500.
    •To allow IPSec Network Address Translation (NAT-T) open UDP 5500.
    •To allow L2TP traffic, open UDP 1701.

    Answers are only as good as the information you provide.
