If you are using Citrix you don't need to VPN to the server.  You should just connect to Citrix through the Web.

<div>
If you need to know the ports (there are several depending on how you use things) here they are for the most part: <br />
<br />
ICA session: 1494-tcp<br />
ICA session with Session Reliability: 2598-tcp<br />
<br />
Web Interface: 80-tcp<br />
Web Interface with SSL: 443-tcp<br />
<br />
Secure Gateway/CAG: 443-tcp<br />
<br />
XML browser (default): 80-tcp<br />
<br />
<br />
I would actually suggest using the VPN if you have it unless you enable Secure Gateway or CAG; the VPN will be higher security than ICA encryption alone. &nbsp;The Secure Gateway and CAG will provide 128-bit protocol encryption, not just the session encryption ICA does. &nbsp;

how VPN network connect to citrix server

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
