i'm curious if there's a good way to be able to vpn on a port other than the default one
i set up a vpn on my server (2003 box). it's a multihomed box, with one nic connected to my isp and one connected to my internal network. this server is my everything server - dns,wins,rras,dhcp.... basically, the works. i'd like to be able to set up remote access to use port 443, since it's available from pretty much any place that i might be. i'd just use port 80 as that's even more available, except my isp doesn't let me setup a server on 80. is there a good way to change the default vpn port (i think it's 1723), or ports if there are multiple that remote access uses? i'm using 2003's built in firewall, which automatically adds entries for the services you set up. when i added the vpn service, it put in a new entry for ipsec and 2 vpn gateway entries. unfortunatly, the ports (incoming and outgoing) are hardcoded and you can't delete the firewall entry. the reason for incoming and outgoing (for those who aren't familiar with win2k3's firewall, is because it's a combination port forwarder and firewall entry. i'm just using 127.0.0.1 since vpn is happening on the local machine. was hoping that maybe i could do port translation using 443 external/1723 internal, but since the ports are hardcoded, that won't work (2003, you fail it!)
any advice?
