opening ports for rras on watchguard router

Hi

I have to open ports on the watchguard router to be able to vpn from outside of the network. I have already setup the vpn on the server.

Does anyone know how to accomplish this task..

Daryl Ponting

Open Policy Manager, Click the '+' icon to 'Add Service'. Expand Packet Filters. Select either IPSEC or PPTP (depending on your RRAS settings) then click the Add button. You can give the service a name but the default will be ok, click OK.

On the 'Incoming tab' select "Enabled and Allowed" in the drop-down box. Leave the 'From' (source) address as Any unless you want to restrict access to certain IPs. In the 'To' (destination) box, click the Add button, click Add Other, select Host address and enter the IP address of the RRAS server.

Save the configuration to the Watchguard.

Please note if you are configuring PPTP then you must configure 1-1 NAT.

Please provide some details on VPN type and the version of WG Software and model.

Thank you.
