PPTP VPN For Road Warriors

PPTP VPNs can be established on Cisco PIXes as well as Microsoft RAS servers. Typically when the pptp connections are terminated on a Microsoft RAS server Richweb just needs to have the internal ip address of the RAS server. Richweb then NATs this server ip address to a public IP and passes tcp port 1723 and gre thru to the server.

If the Pix firewall itself will terminate the vpn sessions then there are 2 options for authentication:

1. local user database on the pix
2. pass thru authentication to a Windows Domain Controller

To use local accounts Richweb will require the list of usernames and passwords.

To use Windows authentication a radius server (part of win2k3) will need to be setup on the domain controller.

From Our Clients...

Finally, after some "colorful" conversations with GoDaddy, we were able to backup our entire site and start the process of moving far far away. Our site was drawing more traffic and visitors than GoDaddy could handle and they simply cut off our site without warning or any kind of discussion! Luckily, we found a company called Richweb.com that helped us through the entire process, and used their expertise to move our site off of GoDaddy and on to their fast servers.  Without Richweb, we would be in a world of hurt even to this date and time!
