VPN Ports Required to be Opened
-
For PPTP, I know I need to open port 1723, but the error message I'm getting when trying to connect says I need to enable GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation.) Does this mean opening an additional port? And what port would that be?
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

No it's not a port, GRE is a protocol just like TCP. And where TCP is number six and UDP is seventeen, GRE is number 47[^]. You need to dig into the manual of your firewall to find out how to enable that protocol
