You may run the wizard as many times as you need to enable or disable a virtual private network (VPN) in Windows SBS 2008.

Note

You must be a network administrator to complete this procedure.

To enable a virtual private network

  1. Open the Windows SBS Console.

  2. On the navigation bar, click Network, and then click Connectivity.

  3. Click Configure a virtual private network in the task pane. The Set Up Virtual Private Networking Wizard opens.

  4. Click Allow users to connect to the server by using a VPN.

  5. The wizard enables the Routing and Remote Access service, configures the router, and sets up a Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) VPN. When the wizard finishes enabling the VPN, click Finish.

Note

You may need to open port 1723 on your router to allow VPN connections through the router. Also, some routers require that you enable PPTP passthrough for the VPN to function correctly. For instructions about how to open the port, see the documentation from the router manufacturer.
