Hi Friends, I have a Routing and Remote access server inside my LAN. When I am inside the LAN I am able to successfully connect to the VPN server and obtainan IP. My network is protected on shorewall firewall. I have made enough changes as directed in http://www.shorewall.net/VPNBasics.html#Zones but Jan 31 23:00:59 firewall kernel: Shorewall:wan2allROP:IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:14:85:ac:e5:ee:00:0f:e2:3e:23:99:08:00 SRC=219.65.161.252 DST=202.53.13.170 LEN=141 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=116 ID=16463 PROTO=UDP SPT=1701 DPT=1701 LEN=121 Jan 31 23:01:03 firewall kernel: Shorewall:all2all:ACCEPT:IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:14:85:ac:e5:ee:00:0f:e2:3e:23:99:08:00 SRC=219.65.161.252 DST=202.53.13.170 LEN=141 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=116 ID=16466 PROTO=UDP SPT=1701 DPT=1701 LEN=121 Jan 31 23:01:11 firewall kernel: Shorewall:all2all:ACCEPT:IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:14:85:ac:e5:ee:00:0f:e2:3e:23:99:08:00 SRC=219.65.161.252 DST=202.53.13.170 LEN=141 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=116 ID=16476 PROTO=UDP SPT=1701 DPT=1701 LEN=121 Jan 31 23:01:21 firewall kernel: Shorewall:all2all:ACCEPT:IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:14:85:ac:e5:ee:00:0f:e2:3e:23:99:08:00 SRC=219.65.161.252 DST=202.53.13.170 LEN=141 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=116 ID=16480 PROTO=UDP SPT=1701 DPT=1701 LEN=121 Jan 31 23:01:31 firewall kernel: Shorewall:all2all:ACCEPT:IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:14:85:ac:e5:ee:00:0f:e2:3e:23:99:08:00 SRC=219.65.161.252 DST=202.53.13.170 LEN=48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=116 ID=16482 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=2546 DPT=1723 WINDOW=16384 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 Jan 31 23:01:31 firewall kernel: Shorewall:all2all:ACCEPT:IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:14:85:ac:e5:ee:00:0f:e2:3e:23:99:08:00 SRC=219.65.161.252 DST=202.53.13.170 LEN=48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=116 ID=16483 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=2546 DPT=1723 WINDOW=16384 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 Jan 31 23:01:32 firewall kernel: Shorewall:all2all:ACCEPT:IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:14:85:ac:e5:ee:00:0f:e2:3e:23:99:08:00 SRC=219.65.161.252 DST=202.53.13.170 LEN=48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=116 ID=16485 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=2546 DPT=1723 WINDOW=16384 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 Jan 31 23:01:35 firewall kernel: Shorewall:all2all:ACCEPT:IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:14:85:ac:e5:ee:00:0f:e2:3e:23:99:08:00 SRC=219.65.161.252 DST=202.53.13.170 LEN=141 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=116 ID=16489 PROTO=UDP SPT=1701 DPT=1701 LEN=121 Jan 31 23:01:36 firewall kernel: Shorewall:all2all:ACCEPT:IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:14:85:ac:e5:ee:00:0f:e2:3e:23:99:08:00 SRC=219.65.161.252 DST=202.53.13.170 LEN=141 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=116 ID=16491 PROTO=UDP SPT=1701 DPT=1701 LEN=121 Jan 31 23:01:38 firewall kernel: Shorewall:all2all:ACCEPT:IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:14:85:ac:e5:ee:00:0f:e2:3e:23:99:08:00 SRC=219.65.161.252 DST=202.53.13.170 LEN=141 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=116 ID=16493 PROTO=UDP SPT=1701 DPT=1701 LEN=121 Jan 31 23:01:42 firewall kernel: Shorewall:all2all:ACCEPT:IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:14:85:ac:e5:ee:00:0f:e2:3e:23:99:08:00 SRC=219.65.161.252 DST=202.53.13.170 LEN=141 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=116 ID=16495 PROTO=UDP SPT=1701 DPT=1701 LEN=121 Jan 31 21:48:44 firewall kernel: Shorewall:lan2wan:ACCEPT:IN=eth0 OUT=eth1 SRC=192.168.1.33 DST=219.65.161.252 LEN=275 TOS=0x0 0 PREC=0x00 TTL=127 ID=60622 PROTO=UDP SPT=137 DPT=137 LEN=255 Jan 31 23:01:50 firewall kernel: Shorewall:all2all:ACCEPT:IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:14:85:ac:e5:ee:00:0f:e2:3e:23:99:08:00 SRC=219.65.161.252 DST=202.53.13.170 LEN=141 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=116 ID=16530 PROTO=UDP SPT=1701 DPT=1701 LEN=121 Jan 31 21:54:16 firewall kernel: Shorewall:wan2allROP:IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:14:85:ac:e5:ee:00:0f:e2:3e:23:99:08:00 SRC=219.65. 161.252 DST=202.53.13.170 LEN=141 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=116 ID=62419 PROTO=UDP SPT=1701 DPT=1701 LEN=121 Jan 31 23:02:39 firewall kernel: Shorewall:all2all:ACCEPT:IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:14:85:ac:e5:ee:00:0f:e2:3e:23:99:08:00 SRC=219.65.161.252 DST=202.53.13.170 LEN=141 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=116 ID=16618 PROTO=UDP SPT=1701 DPT=1701 LEN=121 Jan 31 23:02:49 firewall kernel: Shorewall:all2all:ACCEPT:IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:14:85:ac:e5:ee:00:0f:e2:3e:23:99:08:00 SRC=219.65.161.252 DST=202.53.13.170 LEN=48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=116 ID=16659 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=2550 DPT=1723 WINDOW=16384 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 Jan 31 23:02:50 firewall kernel: Shorewall:all2all:ACCEPT:IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:14:85:ac:e5:ee:00:0f:e2:3e:23:99:08:00 SRC=219.65.161.252 DST=202.53.13.170 LEN=48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=116 ID=16663 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=2550 DPT=1723 WINDOW=16384 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 Jan 31 23:02:50 firewall kernel: Shorewall:all2all:ACCEPT:IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:14:85:ac:e5:ee:00:0f:e2:3e:23:99:08:00 SRC=219.65.161.252 DST=202.53.13.170 LEN=48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=116 ID=16665 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=2550 DPT=1723 WINDOW=16384 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 Jan 31 23:04:30 firewall kernel: Shorewall:fw2wan:ACCEPT:IN= OUT=eth1 SRC=202.53.13.170 DST=67.15.187.219 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=58025 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=52993 DPT=80 WINDOW=5840 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 Jan 31 23:04:30 firewall kernel: Shorewall:fw2wan:ACCEPT:IN= OUT=eth1 SRC=202.53.13.170 DST=67.15.187.219 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=63330 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=52994 DPT=80 WINDOW=5840 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0
Eventhough I have configured as directed above some or the other policy is making me drop packets on firewall.. Any help suggested is highly helpfull . I have tried directly port forwarding the port 1723 also.. but no use .. its connecting but packets are not going out of the network.. Surprisingly , another VPN client machine is successfully connecting to a VPN server.. Do VPN port numbers differ from VPN type to type (i mean vendor specific or opensource).. isnt there any standard protocol for VPNs..? Thank you Mahen
