Hello,
I am unable to connect devices via the vpn server (pptp) I have try windows 10, 8, android without succes.
Incoming connection 1723 open in the firewall.
On android I have only failure message, on windows it's "error login or password"
Off course I have verify password, bad typping, try differents accounts, create special account for testing... always "error login or password".
The accounts have off course autorisation to utilise pptp service...
I don't understand where is the problem...

Have you just opened incoming 1723 manually? If so, it won't work as you also need to open up for protocol 47 (not port 47). It is best just to open up the Standard Service PPTP as it does it all for you.
[edit]
BTW even Microsoft, creators of PPTP recommend you don't use it due to security issues. OpenVPN is probably a better way to go or a modern implementation of IPsec using ikev2. OpenVPN is easier to set up in ClearOS. IPsec would need to be set up manually as none of the interfaces cover the roadwarrior set up.

Hello,
The service pptp has himself configured the incoming firewall, port 1723 and I suppose protocol 47 (GRE+PPTP) is open.
I can't use openvpn, I know it's better... but I have a fleet of 100 mobiles devices that use integrated pptp connection... (no time to reconfigure all and I can't ask to finals users to do it themself... they don't understand what I talk, it's only school teatchers
) I always use until now Synology pptp server or Draytek pptp server without problem.
I test a clearOS as a possible alternative in the futur... -

Hi Peter,
Have a look at this from Libreswan. I don't know how much is applicable to Openswan. As you can see from the config, it is Libreswan itself which gives the remote device an IP address rather than handing off to something like xl2tpd.
It is probably a bit premature to say l2tp is redundant as the O/S has to be pretty much up to date. I'm sure I read somewhere it was iOS9 or iOS9.1 which was the last major OS to come on board. I am a bit concerned that I don't see Android mentioned but this article does mention it (along with Strongswan configs).

Many thanks Nick. I added a tracker item to make sure this gets some attention during our usual roadmap reviews.
