Hey all.

 

 

 

Have replaced an aging WRT54GL running Tomato with a newer AC1900 which Ive got Advanced Tomato running on.

 

Behind this I have a Win2k8 server and Im wanting to VPN into it.  Was working fine with the necessary port forwarding and mod to the iptables, but I just cant get it working on the new touter.

 

Has anyone got a similar system working well and can prod me in the right direction?

 

 

 

Cheers

 

 

 

Craig

Ended up being one of those "DOOOHHhhh" moments :)

 

 

 

Just so happens on the day that I installed the new router, the Win2k8 server also needed restarting ... and Routing and Remote Access service didnt auto start!!!

 

So Id been testing against a dead end! Found out when I put the old router back online and VPN's still wouldnt work.

 

SO I had the standard VPN port forwarding, and then added to the Firewall Scripts:

 

 

 

iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p 47 -j DNAT --to 10.0.0.12
iptables -I wanin -p 47 -d 10.0.0.12 -j logaccept
iptables -I INPUT -s 111.221.29.161 -j DROP

 

 

 

and all was good! :)
