What I want to do is have a VPN (PPTP/IPSEC/CIPE/etc) server, but it
must support more than one simultaneous connection.
I currently have a PPTP VPN server setup that has port 1723 and protocol
47 DNAT’d through to the internal IP address of the VPN server and I
have not been able to have more than one connection at a time. I am
considering setting up the VPN server as a gateway (for lack of a better
word) and instead of DNATing the connections through to the internal IP
I would setup a DMZ with the VPN server as the only host. My only
concern in doing so is that if it does not work what other options do I
have besides getting a different connection type such as fibre? I’m
trying to do this as cheaply as possible.
Can / will you provide some more information such as what type of client
will be connecting to the VPN concentrator?
I believe the 1 concurrent connection you are referring to is a limitation
of IPTables match extension for PPTP tunnels. If you put the VPN
Concentrator such that it is directly routable you should have better luck.
Beyond PPTP, you can look in to IPSec or SSLTunnel, or any number of other
products. However to be able to determine which of the products is best
suited to your situation, we need to know more about your situation.
