RE: How to allow VPN traffic

It depends (doesn't it always :] ):

1. If it is IPsec then the standard ports are: AH (IP protocol 51), ESP (IP
protocol 50), and ISAKMP (UDP port 500).

If you are using IPsec NAT traversal/transparency then you'll variously need
to permit UDP port 4500 (for standard IPsec NAT traversal), or whatever TCP
or UDP port you have configured for IPsec over TCP or UDP on the
concentrator (often the default port 10000).

2. If you are using L2TP for remote access then it will almost certainly be
L2TP over IPsec(RFC 3193). So, in this case permit the IPsec ports indicated
above. If you are using L2TP without IPsec then you'll need to permit UDP
port 1701.

3. If you are using PPTP then you'll need to permit TCP port 1723 (for the
PPTP control connection) and eGRE (IP protocol 47, for the PPTP session).

Hope that helps,

Mark
