How do I setup PPTP VPN + port forwarding?
Model :
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
I have an Archer C1200 v1.0.
I setup a PPTP VPN. I registered my IP with No-IP.com. I setup the hostname on the Dynamic DNS section of the router setup page.
I am able to connect to the VPN if the device is connected to the router BUT I can't connect if I'm using my phone's data network or work/school Wi-Fi, or any other outside connection.
I realized I need to enable port forwarding.. which I tried, but it didn't work. For the service type I selected PPTP, and it automatically filled out the External Port & Internal Port with 1723, which from what I am told, is the port for PPTP VPN. However, it left the Internal IP box blank, and asked me to fill it out. I entered some random ones that weren't assigned, like 192.168.0.125. It accepted it, but I still could not connect to the VPN.
What am I doing wrong?
