Getting VPN traffic through your dd-wrt router

I’ve been developing a client router for the StrongVPN service.  One of the walls I hit was that my main router was not always allowing the VPN traffic through.  I’m running a WRT320N with dd-wrt Mega build (EKO big) as my main router.  In researching a solution, I came across this gem of a statement on the dd-wrt forum “If you have followed the above steps and still cannot connect to the VPN, try forwarding the PPTP Port (1723) with TCP protocol to the LAN IP Address of your router (i.e. 192.168.1.1). Although it seems like this is a weird approach since you are using your router to forward to itself, it often times allows the VPN connection to succeed.” The full link is here.

As soon as I did this, the floodgates opened.  No problems since connecting my VPN.

By the way, the StrongVPN client router is developed, tested, and working strong!  Here’s the product page http://sabaitechnology.com/StrongVPN-Client-Router-N-P841634.aspx
