Does anyone know which port VPN uses? and how to test if the port is open. MY ISP keeps telling me that it is open but i want to see if there is a way for me to test it by maybe pinging a port or something?
A: PPTP VPN uses TCP Port 1723, IP Protocol 47 (GRE); L2TP: UDP Port 1701; IPSec: Pass IP protocol 50 and 51. Note: 47 is a protocol number and not TCP port. The protocol name is GRE. It'll make a big difference when configuring your firewall or router.
