VPN / DNS Issue

**Dan** · #1 (**permalink**) 21-12-09, 05:03 AM

I have just installed VPN so I can connect to my server, which involved Routing and Remote Access to be installed. Since I cannot access any of my websites and it appears DNS isn't functioning whatsoever.

If anybody who has experience in this could post back with a possible response I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Dan

Hello Dan ,

We have reconfigured the VPN on your server and were also able to connect with the VPN user which was provided in the chat . Also all the sites on the server are working fine . If you have any other issues you can mail to windows@webhosting.uk.com .

Good to know that everything is working fine at your end.... Playing with a VPN can be a cumbersome task and needs utmost care.
A friend of mine had made some mistake with his VPN configuration which made him to reconfigure all settings & TUN/TAP interface from scratch !
So better PLAY SAFE then regret

I agree completely Pongers.

I have run into a bit of another pickle now. Filezilla FTP server won't accept incoming connections since RRAS has been installed.

Hello Dan ,

I am able to telnet to port number 21 for the server IP without any problem . Also in filezilla you need to manually enter the port number 21 while connecting . Can you mail us at windows@webhosting.uk.com with the ftp login details so that we can check the
issue .
