Hello,
I was using PFsense 1.2 on an Alix 2c.3 as the primary router on my
network.
Switching to VOIP and upgrading our connection to a T1 required using
a router that was recommended/provided to us by the VOIP provider.
Switching to this new router was fine with me since it can terminate
the T1, increased the number of available ports, and it provides PoE
for the phones, but it doesn't do VPN, so I can't remote in.
Because it worked so well previously, I'd like to put my PFsense/Alix
box back on the network as a VPN server.
I've yet to work through this solution, but I'm going to do the
following:
1) reset the PF box to defaults
2) Run the install wizard again
3) Disable DHCP
4) Assign a address of 10.0.0.X on the same subnet as everything else
to the LAN port (making sure that it doesn't conflict with anything
else)
5) Turn on the PPTP VPN server with another 10.0.0.X address (making
sure that it doesn't conflict with anything else)
6) Create a firewall rule to pass all traffic on PPTP server to same
subnet
6) Forward all traffic on port 1723 to the PFsense/Alix box.
7) connect the LAN port to the network.
Am I leaving anything out? Should I disable anything else? Is this
crazy?
Thanks for the help,
Jeremy
