Hi Jason! >> There is a work around for that 16 user limit on pptp, >> however keep in mind more system resources are needed.. >> check the forms for this work around i believe you have >> to manually edit a seting on the config file.
I had a chat with my boss and he said that 16 simultaneous connections are suitable for our needs. Today, from 12:00pm to 13:00 pm, I've tested my pfSense box here, and here are my impressions: - All NAT connections seem to work fine here. My boss were at his home, and tested PPTP VPN connections, transferring files to/from the network, and web access. Everything worked in a charm, without any problems. - But, when I tried to connect on any of our external VPNs, I've noticed that I was able to connect with only one host to an external VPN. If I try connecting to the same VPN on another machine, nothing happens. Guessing about what was happening on my box, I've been on pfSense FAQ and saw this: "There are two limitations of PPTP in pfSense. 1. ... 2. Only one client can connect to a PPTP server on the Internet simultaneously. 10 clients can connect to 10 different servers, but only a single simultaneous connection can exist to a single server. The Frickin PPTP package is intended to resolve this, but it does not work at this time. If you know how to fix it, please let me know." I ask you, gentlemen, are there any workarounds on pfSense to solve this issue? We really need that several machines may be able to connect on the same VPN. I gladly appreciate for any answer here.
