Where can PPTP VPN be used?
A PPTP connection is very cross-platform compatible. The protocol works on Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, Android, Tomato, DD-WRT, and other operating systems and devices. PPTP uses GRE (General Routing Encapsulation), TCP port 1723, and IP port 47.
What is PPTP on router?
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a VPN protocol that allows the Point to Point Protocol (PPP) to be tunneled through an IP network. It encrypts the data with GRE (Generic route encapsulation) and uses the TCP port 1723.
What is VPN server address?
A VPN hides your IP address by letting the network redirect it through a specially configured remote server run by a VPN host. This means that if you surf online with a VPN, the VPN server becomes the source of your data.
What is the IP address for a VPN tunnel?
Let’s suppose your office network has Internet access via a router that apply some NAT translations and, as such, your office PCs are seen, on the Internet, with IP “your.office.external.ip”. a PPP0 address, assigned to your laptop by your remote PPTP server (once your VPN tunnel is succesfully established).
Is there a problem with SSH over VPN?
I guess the problem is that I can’t route the ssh traffic to go through the VPN. Any ideas how I can accomplish this? My other option is to ssh to a machine within the office network and then use that machine to ssh to the EC2 instance but I’ve been hesistant to do that as it seems excessive.
Is it possible to SSH to an EC2 instance?
My other option is to ssh to a machine within the office network and then use that machine to ssh to the EC2 instance but I’ve been hesistant to do that as it seems excessive. Let’s suppose your AWS is reachable via SSH at IP “your.ec2.ip.address”.
Is the AWS EC2 server SSH or VPN?
We have an AWS EC2 server that we’ve configured to be only accessible (via SSH) from within our office network. Obviously this isn’t ideal for remote arrangements where someone has to connect to the EC2 instance and is working remotely outside the office such as during a business trip.
