Configuring PPTP VPN passthrough on Juniper SSG5 to Windows 2003 PPTP VPN

I am having trouble configuring PPTP traffic to passthrough the Juniper to a known-working Windows 2003 PPTP VPN server. I can't imagine this is that difficult but no guide I follow can properly show me the process. Can someone please let me know what I need to do to accomplish what should be a relatively simple procedure? I have a static mapped IP to the Windows 2003 server and currently have a policy allowing SMTP, IMAP, etc, traffic to that machine (from untrust to trust), all of which works fine. I will be happy to provide any other details as needed, and thank you very much in advance for any assistance.

In addition, per sangamc, I have executed the following commands:

set service "PPTP-47" protocol 47 src-port 2048-2048 dst-port 2048-2048
set service "PPTP-47" + tcp src-port 0-65535 dst-port 1723-1723
set service "PPTP-1723" protocol tcp src-port 0-65535 dst-port 1723-1723

I have enabled those services, as well as the GRE service, on the policy going from untrust to the mapped IP of the internal PPTP server, with no luck. Thank you very much in advance for your help.

are you able to establish a VPN to the server locally?

Yes, the server is known good. Works perfectly otherwise, just not through the Juniper. Here is our current config (external ip addresses and policy names are removed for security, replaced with XXXXXX):

if you create a policy from 'global' to 'global' and set it to source=all, dest=all, action=deny, logging=on. Then place it at the bottom of the list. it will capture and log all packets that are being dropped by the ssg. you can then look at the logs to see whats happening to your vpn traffic.

I did as you instructed, and when I attempt to connect with my local VPN client (which works fine when not going through the Juniper), I see no evidence of traffic from my local IP (68.52.x.x) in the juniper traffic logs. Any ideas?

Sanga Collins

the last thing i recommend doing is running a debug on the traffic to the VPN. Let me know if you are familiar with the process. if not i will post the steps on how to debug traffic flow on the juniper devices.

I'm attempting this command:

set src-ip <ip-address of pc> dst-ip <ip address on internet>

From the CLI, and I'm getting this result:

^---------unknown keyword src-ip

Command string is: set src-ip XX.XX.XX.XX dst-ip XX.XX.XX.XX

Any idea what I"m doing wrong?

Sanga Collins

LOL, looks like something i posted a few weeks ago with a typo. the correct command is

set ff src-ip <ip> dst-ip <ip>

i had didnt put the 'ff' = flowfilter

I've done what you asked, and filtered from my home IP with a known-good PPTP VPN client to the Mapped IP of PPTP VPN server behind the ssg5. Attached is the log of that. The Mapped IP to the VPN server is the 207.x.x.139 address, my home IP (which is attempting to connect to it) is 68.x.x.206, and the internal IP of the VPN server is 192.x.x.3. Can you determine anything from this?

From the debug you supplied it looks like traffic is definitely reaching the server. i looked at my own vpn setup and can confirm that the right ports are opening. (port 1723)

011-05-04 14:40:14 70.88.37.x:40045 173.9.176.x:1723 70.88.37.93:40045 10.130.10.10:1723 PPTP 2 sec. 1244 956 Close - TCP RST
2011-05-04 14:37:28 70.88.37.x:45829 173.9.176.x:1723 70.88.37.93:45829 10.130.10.10:1723 PPTP 5 sec. 1244 956 Close - TCP RST

Are you able to look at the logs on the server to see if any errors or messages are being generated based on VPn traffic from your public ip address?

from you logs:
ethernet0/0:68.52.93.x/1939->207.191.185.x/1723,6<Root>
---> your public to the server public on port 1723

routed (x_dst_ip 192.168.10.3) from ethernet0/0 (ethernet0/0 in 0) to bgroup0
---> public ip is mapped to internal ip

Permitted by policy 3
----> policy exists to allow traffic

This leads me to believe you juniper config is ok, and the issue may lie elsewhere.

Ok, thank you as always. I'm acting on your advice and examining the Windows Server 2003 box that was the acting VPN server via Routing and Remote Access. It has two NICs: One routed to a legacy internet connection (that is being depreciated) and one internal NIC (the 192.168.x.3). The VPN server was evidently routed to the old external nic, and needs to be rerouted to the internal NIC so it will respond to the traffic being forwarded from the Juniper.

I just destroyed the old RRAS server connection and attempted to enable VPN on the internal NIC. Once I did that, it broke the internal NIC communication completely, and a user onsite had to manually connect to the console and delete the new RRAS internal NIC server connection. I'm following the walkthrough here:

http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;323441&x=11&y=3

But, when I completed the last step (right before "How to Configure the VPN Server") on that page, I nor anyone else could connect remotely through any means other than console access.

Do you have any idea how to enable VPN on Windows Server 2003 on an internal NIC without breaking the connection temporarily?
