Ubuntu - IPTables - NAT how to enable PPTP in newer Debian/Ubuntu/Mint Kernels

If NAT is setup then this will work without special forwarding or accepting of GRE packets.

  • If you are not blocking outgoing connections and accepting established and related connections.

NOTE: Control connections are established on port 1723 and the actual data is transferred over GRE protocol 47.


Get PPTP and GRE working

modprobe ip_nat_pptp
sysctl -w net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_helper=1

NOTE: This loads the ip_nat_pptp module which allows PPTP to work with NAT.

  • Then the connection tracking helper is enabled
