Hi,

We will be using a SnapGear router/firewall behind our GB Pro 3.03 to 
encrypt TCP/IP data using PPTP and connecting to servers external to 
our firewall (and company).

The actual arrangement is a bit confusing:

1. Data is sent from a desktop application on the PRO to IP 
151.193.140.5 (this IP address is not one of ours but is a company 
overseas).

2. The Gnatbox Routes the data to the SnapGear router which is also 
on the PRO network, which encrypts using PPTP

3. SnapGear sends PPTP traffic to the Internet (133.143.4.5).

4. Response data is sent back from 133.143.4.5 using PPTP to the 
Snapgear, which decrypts the data

5. And sends it back to the Gnatbox

6. which sends it back to the desktop application.

Desktop (PRO) --> Gnatbox --> SnapGear (PRO) encypts using PPTP 
--> Gnatbox ---> Internet --> Gnatbox --> SnapGear decrypts PPTP --> 
Gnatbox --> Desktop application.

So, do I need to do anything other than allow Port 1723 TCP out 
through our Gnatbox using an OutBound filter?  
There are no SYN packets entering our network from outside.

Cheers,

adrian
