I agree, this one needs to be billed for time to and from as well, and
at least $100/hour...

UPDATE
I couldn't take the whining and crying about the VPN being down.
Remote IT guys 100% sure it is my issue (must be blocking port
443). Customer 100% I changed something. So, I gathered my testing
equipment and headed on out. Well both IT guy and customer never
mentioned that the VPN appliance is connected to their router via a
100' CAT5e cable run on the floor across the house. They did at
least have it tape down in places. When I tried to connect my
notebook using the cable, I got no connection. Pulled out the old
CAT5 tester and only 3 or of 8 lit up. Replaced the cable and guess
what, VPN now working.

I'm working a very similar issue right now. I think I have tracked
it down to an issue with a single upstream connection, and it looks
like it's doing something with fragmenting/dropping large packets.
Doing a packet capture, it looks like the VPN setup packet is about
2062 bytes in size, and it's not getting to the other end. ICMP
Packets will flow regardless of size (of course fragmenting) If I
route the traffic over any of my other upstreams, it works fine. I
have a ticket open with this upstream, but getting them to
understand what the issue is has been cumbersome.

Do you have other customers with similar config/topology where you
can test, maybe who hit the same VPN server? PCAP’s aside, VPN’s
don’t usually like NAT and firewall changes, but you have to divide
and conquer to track down VPN issues often because the error
reporting is vague at best typically.

Re: [AFMUG] VPN issues
Bill,
Well that is the issue. Could be anything. Been working fine since
June. I have many many more people using VPN's with no issues.
But there is an issue on her link. This is a fiber link BTW. Her
Internet works fine.
Her IT guys have washed their hands of it, pushing it all on me.
Not sure how I'm going to figure it out being I don't know what
appliance she is using yet. Even when I get that info, I'll have no
access to it. Doubt they are going to give me admin privileges on
their equipment. Also, I don't get the opportunity to see what
errors are showing up on server logs.

I would suspect maybe segmentation issues. Sometimes segment
boundaries can mess with a VPN.

I have a customer that has some type of VPN router device on our
system. Her VPN isn't working anymore. Her Internet is fine. I did
a packet capture for her IT guys and sent it to them. Their answer
is the usual "It's your ISPs fault". I'm not a VPN expert, but I
attached the filtered packet dump. Looks like things are talking back
and forth. Any issues anyone can see?
