Happy 2012!
We have Packetfence in the office and love it, but we're experiencing one
(minor) quirk and I am wondering whether anybody else has experienced it or
sees the same thing.
We have a remote location which uses PPTP -- a little weak, I know -- for
mobile user vpn access. The PPTP service is reliable and works as
expected, here is the quirk:
If we establish one concurrent vpn connection we don't encounter any
issues, the user can authenticate and connect with no issues. If we
establish a second, though, it initiates a connection but never
authenticates. If we run the same test from in front Packetfence there are
no issues. The logs do not show any errors.
My initial thoughts were that it could be an issue with static versus
dynamic NAT, if only one connection is established there is a 1:1
relationship and no extended translation is required. If a second is
established a many-to-one/dynamic translation is required and I was
thinking the associated GRE traffic might be mismatched and then dropped.
Has anyone seen anything similar? At the end of the day we're hoping to
get rid of PPTP entirely but hold on to it for a handful of legacy users
which have XP. We also support a few clients which supply PPTP accounts to
our technical support staff.
Warm regards,
Stewart
