VPN through Symantec Client Firewall

[Guest]

I'm trying to set-up an IPSec VPN using Windows 2000 Pro on a
computer with Symantec Client firewall version 8.6 installed. The VPN
works fine if I disable the firewall but not when the firewall is
enabled. The VPN client is the Windows 2000 client. Any suggestions on
how the firewall needs to be configured for the VPN to work through it
would be appreciated.

BTW, I'm using Openswan on the other end of the VPN tunnel. The VPN
runs over a wireless link with WPA enabled.

Hi

AFAIK you will need port TCP 1723 open in the FW and also maybe UDP 500 (for
IPSEC based VPN)

Also make sure that under options->protocol filtering you choose...
"Permit selected extended protocols" and allow
47 -- GRE - General Routing Encapsulation
or it will not VPN to a windows 2003 server that I tested.
