What am I doing wrong? I cannot connect to TL-R600VPN
I've looked absolutely in every single slightly niche resource I can find to try and get this device working. My goal is to be able to connect to my home network from anywhere.
I have the VPN router connected to a switch. I confirmed the TL-R600VPN can ping my home gateway and the internet in general.
The IP Address is set to my current public IP told to me via my home modem.
Here is what my DHCP settings look out. Still in the 192.168.0.0 subnet as the modem.
Here is the VPN IP Pool
Here is how the PPTP server looks
Here is how my test user account looks
The modem sees the TL-R600VPN as indicated here:
But with anything I test outside of the network, it just fails and nothing shows up in the logs. That makes me believe there's an issue reaching it. Both the TL-R600VPN and Modem are plugged to the switch that's basically acting as a hub. The switch is plugged into the WAN port on the TL-R600VPN. I was unable to find what exact port I needed to forward so I placed the TL-R600VPN in a DMZ zone as an experiment.
Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm sure this is some user error and I'm assuming something that's not the case I understand the modem is also doing routing but if the devices can talk to each other, I couldn't imagine it would cause any problems.
