>From a post that Charles put up: You need the ip_masq_pptp.o module loaded, which will do the dirty-work of masquerading the VPN link. You still, however, need to allow the PPTP packets through your firewall (only TCP/UDP/ICMP traffic is allowed by default). I believe this is protocol 47 (GRE), which you would allow into your Dachstein based firewall with the following: EXTERN_PROTO0="47 1.2.3.4/32" Where 1.2.3.4 is the IP of the remote VPN peer you're connecting to. If you're connecting to several VPN servers, you can either make an entry for each one (remember to increment the index number!), or use 0/0 for the IP range, which is the whole internet.
