[vpn-help] Window VPN client 2.1.7 does not work with the firewall enabled.

[Christian Krackowizer]

Hmm,

strange.
Me too have he same configuration, no problem. I hadn't to setup any entries in the firewall.
Please be aware that Microsoft's Firewall normally blocks INCOMING traffic. OUTGOING traffic is permitted.

Always use 2.1.7 with the 'virtua' adapter! Otherwise you can have troubles with routes and DNS server, depending on the type of Internet Access.

Betreff: [vpn-help] Window VPN client 2.1.7 does not work with the firewall enabled.

Hi,

I've just installed the ShrewSoft VPN client 2.1.7 on a new Windows 7 64 bit laptop, with the latest patches. If I run the client with the Windows firewall disabled, I can connect to the VPN server. If the firewall is turned on, I appear to get the full connection up, but any packets I send out just disappear.

We are using a Netgear FVS336GV1, with the latest version of the software, configured as per the examples, except that our IP address is 192.168.1.0/24.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to configure the firewall to allow things to work. I have put "Access manager" and "ipsecc" in the firewall exception list.

Simon.
