The default port for VPN on Ubuntu is 1723 (looked that up). Having all but
a handful of other ports closed on my EC2 instance, adding that one made my
connection work. What I cannot find is a setting in Windows 7 that ensures
that all traffic is being routed through the VPN. Or is that done by
default in a Windows VPN connection?

Very good tutorial for beginners in Ubuntu for me. I could make it work in
less than 30 minutes. Thanks.

Do you open ICMP in your security group for that instance?
Simon McBrinn December 22, 2013
Awesome Tutorial. Do you know how to make sites like lifehacker and gizmodo
load when the VPN is connected? I tried some MTU settings on the Ubuntu
server, but no dice. Thanks!

hi, thanks for this – i got thru everything, but my VPN client (os X built
in) can’t connect. when I ping the public DNS for my instance it returns:
Request timeout for icmp_seq 0 Request timeout for icmp_seq 1 Request
timeout for icmp_seq 2 any suggestions?

This is a great tutorial for beginners like me. I got my test server
working. I was wondering could you do a video for L2TP/IPsec conenction as
well?

Here is a list of the cmds. Might want to update your description with
them: # sudo apt-get install pptpd # sudo nano /etc/pptpd.conf : uncomnt
remote put on local put private IP > local # sudo nano
/etc/ppp/pptpd-options : uncomnt ms-dns add google # sudo nano
/etc/sysctl.conf : uncomnt net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 # sudo iptables -t nat -A
POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE # sudo nano /etc/rc.local : paste
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE # sudo nano
/etc/ppp/chap-secrets

Do yourself a favour and do not follow this tutorial, instead install
OpenVPN, it is MUCH MORE secure and a breeze to setup. PPTP Technology is
outdated and considered as insecure. it relies upon MS-CHAPv2 which has
been compromised. If you continue to use PPTP be aware that intercepted
traffic can be decrypted by a third party, so it should be considered
unencrypted. apt-get install openvpn
