PPTP does not work with ufw enabled. This is because proto 47 is not supported. Is there a work around?

Asked by Doug Barbieri

When I try to connect to a VPN, it fails. When I look at the syslog, I can see PROTO=47 being thrown out by the firewall. This prevents the VPN from working. When I disable ufw, I am able to connect to the VPN.

Is there a work around for this? I am unable to add a rule like this:

# ufw allow in proto 47 to any
ERROR: Unsupported protocol '47'

Any suggestions?

sudo ufw allow 47

Does that work?

Can you help with this problem?
