For IPSec I believe you need >protocolsport< 500. The 50 is a protocol number, like UDP is 17 and TCP is what? 6? It is not a TCP or UDP port number...

If I have done my home work correctly I think IPSec port: 50 L2TP port : 1701 PPTP port : 1723 Are these all TCP, UDP??? I don't really have a full understanding of how the protocal and port process of a VPN works. I understand the theroy; how IPSec incryptes the info in a tunnel data portion of another IP packet blaa blaa blaa. But any more aditional detailed info would be great.
