Author NAT and VPN

Hi,

I have one question:

May NAT cause VPN connection failures?

When using public ip addresses there is no connection failure when using
VPN.

Otherwise when using translated addresses (NAT) no connection can be
stablished.

Any hints or tips?

Best regards,

Nuno Cristelo

What is doing the nat and what is the vpn gateway?

Sure can cause failures if Authenticated Header is required. NAT over UDP
or TCP can fix this.

I'm sorry... IPSEC over UDP or TCP.

A Microsoft book covering L2TP says that IPSEC encryption can't pass through
any device that performs NAT, and that PPTP has to be used instead. The same
blurb also says that they intend to fix this by using UDP encapsulation in
the future. That is all I could find on the topic.

IPSec operating in tunnel mode first encrypts the entire packet, and then
encapsulates the encrypted packet as payload for a new packet generated.

Microsoft's solution - "using UDP encapsulation" - is in essence the tunnel
mode. UDP port 10000 is the default for IPSec packets. (You can switch to
TCP 10000 if you like; it only marginally increases reliability.)
