Does NetMAX Fire Wall support VPN tunneling?

No, the NetMAX FireWall does not currently support VPN tunneling through it. Most tunneling of encrypted packets would require a packet editor and not just rewriting the IP headers. However, NetMAX VPN Server Suite can tunnel it's VPN traffic.

If you are not doing NAT, NetMAX is capable of routing VPN traffic (including PPTP), as long as you are not denying it with the firewall.

There is a VPN patch available for ipmasq (the IP NAT that NetMAX uses) that should allow some VPN clients to be behind the NAT.

You may read up on it at:

http://www.impsec.org/linux/masquerade/ip_masq_vpn.html.

Please note that we can't support your installation of this patch.

For more information about Microsoft VPN and NAT, please see their knowledge base article at:
