tilani Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Hi Everyone, I am having some trouble setting up a VPN connection using WHS2011. I followed this guide to get to where I am right now: http://thedigitalmediazone.com/2012/03/26/how-to-set-up-vpn-for-windows-home-server-2011/ So far, I am able to connect to the VPN using my LAN address. I have been unable, for whatever reason, to connect via my WAN IP. I get the Error 800 anytime I do it. My brother-in-law can not connect to the VPN from his home either. I have port forwarded everything properply, and even at some point disabled the WHS internal firewall as well as placed the computer into DMZ mode. I still can't for the life of me get it to work. I want to say that it must have something to do with my Verizon router or my switch (TEG-S24G). I want to use a VPN vs Remote Web Access so that I can map folders to my WMC when I am at college. I have the 35mbs up speed from Verizon so I should be able to watch quite a few things without any issues. Can Anyone give me some insight? Thanks!

Renny Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Some ISPs block port 80, go to your account page to confirm if this is the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilani Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 Well I am able to get it to allow remote web access, just not a VPN. From the internet, it seems as though Verizon does block incoming port 80. Is it possible to remap it? Is port 80 required for VPN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
