Now that you have configured your Windows firewall to accept connections. You must also configure the router. I can’t explain all router settings because they differ from router to router, but I can help by giving you some tips – enable PPTP and GRE (Generic Route Encapsulation) on the router, or enable PPTP, or create a port to port 1723. If your router has an additional setting for PPTP or VPN, make sure it is enabled. Your computer is now ready to receive the VPN connection.
