Hello,
Is there a way to configure MikroTik PPTP client (INTERFACE > ADD NEW > PPTP CLIENT) to connect to servers on an alternate port (preferably TCP 8080) ? An ISP I am working with blocks TCP 1723.
And is there a way to configure MikroTik PPTP server to listen to PPTP connections on an alternate port as well? (preferably TCP 8080).
Thank you.
I doubt a windows client has the option to change from TCP port 1723. If your ISP is blocking 1723, then it’s most likely blocking GRE as well. GRE doesn’t use ports, so that’ll be the show stopper for you.
The SSTP VPN can be configured to listen on alternative ports, and in clients you can specify the port after the hostname: vpn.example.com:8443
SSTP uses TCP port 443 by default. Because it’s TCP only, it’s the VPN that’s most likely to get around firewalls.
