VPN Passthrough (Ipsec)

by Brad Wheeler :: Rate this Message:

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message

I need some help understanding whether or not WISP-Dist is able to
pass-through IPSEC or PPTP VPN traffic. I am attempting to connect to a VPN
router (RV042) behind a WISP-Dist that I have no ability to administer and
can only suggest modifications. When I currently attempt to establish a VPN
connection using IPSEC over port 443, (Linksys QuickVPN client) I am
successful to a point where ESP (Encapsulated Security Payload) is sent, at
that point I receive back ICMP responses of (Destination Unreachable:
Protocol Unreachable). This is leading me to believe that pass-through of
this protocol is not possible, but before I attempt PPTP (which I hope is
supported ??) I wanted to see the response from the mailing list. Thanks..

I would presume that you are behind NAT? You can configure static
reverse NAT if you are establishing VPN from the same internal IP.

I appreciate the response, thank you, I hope I am not being too thick, so
humor me if you will.

The VPN Router is most defiantly behind NAT using PAT (I would assume), I am
concerned that I might be seeing the effect of the IPSEC implementation
being used, where it is attempting to transmit only the ESP with a SPI,
therefore there is no defined destination port in the packet, and I am
unsure if Wisp-Dist supports a mechanism (or for that matter if one
exists) to decipher the correct destination, since it would appear that the
administrator has simply applied port forwarding for incoming data on 500
and 443 to the static local IP of the VPN router. Thanks again..

Probably he should configure iptables to do forwarding for the IPSEC IP
protocols, e.g. ESP (-p 50) and AH (-p 51)
