I have two sites, one like this me -> PFSense NAT with external IP -> outside world That works with no issue me -> PFSense NAT with internal IP -> DSL Router with NAT -> outside world doesn't, and fails on the password. Plugging directly into the DSL works as expected. Both PFSense boxes have an allow GRE and port 1723 rule. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
