Hi, I am using OpenWrt Chaos Calmer 15.05-rc2 / LuCI (git-15.146.54948-a497fba)
I have installed
kmod-ipt-nat
kmod-nf-nat
kmod-nf-nathelper
kmod-nf-nathelper-extra

I am trying to connect to a remote PPTP server and it works 1 times out of 20. It does work so I don't know what is going wrong the other 19 times. I don't know where to start troubleshooting.

Thanks in advance to anyone who tries to help smile

hi

try traceroute(nix) or tracert(win) till gogle.. or your ISP

Actually when I replace the openwrt router with a regular TP-Link router with factory firmware I connect 20 out of 20 times. It seems to be something with Openwrt and pptp

ok so I can connect to regular windows pptp servers - the problem now seems to be when I try and connect to a pfsense router pptp vpn server - any ideas?

The discussion might have continued from here.
