VPN Setup on new VDS
WOW. I followed John's "How-to" in the knowledge base to set up a VPN. BAM! It was really that easy.

Glad they can help. Saved me a million times.doulos9 wrote:WOW. I followed John's "How-to" in the knowledge base to set up a VPN. BAM! It was really that easy.
The auto install script is amazing. Did you figure out how to forward ports? Are you using your VPN with a gaming system?
Re: VPN Setup on new VDS
Not for gaming. I use it to get around Comcast's blocking of web servers for getting access to my owncloud server in my study when I am away from home. I only connect through VPN when I know I am going to be out of town for a whole day, or more. If anyone knows how to get an xfinity modem to forward ports without using a VPN I'd sure like to know. Supposedly, they do not block any of the ports I use, but something is blocking them. I was able to forward ports in the past when I used my own modem.

what How-to is that? I been trying to look for it and no luck.

Re: VPN Setup on new VDS
Have you tried wiping and using the other set of steps?
