Windows 10: Unable to connect to my work PPTP VPN

I cannot connect to my work PPTP VPN. After rebooting I get the error the specified port already open. I tried to connect using different Windows 10 computers and it was OK so I think there is no issue with either the RAS or my home network.\

I tried to delete and recreate the connection, then turned off the firewall. The troubleshooter didn’t find any issue.

Incoming PPTP Connections do not work on Windows 10 pro

There are many Step Guides on available on setting up PPTP Connections:

Here are a couple:

I suggest comparing the outlined procedures with how you you setup your own connection to see if you can identify any specific issues.

 

PPTP VPN setup


The connection is between my Win10 laptop (build 10586.71) and my home Buffalo router. The connection worked fine before from Windows 7, and it still works via my android phone (6.0.1). But now, when I try to connect, I get "The PPP link control protocol was terminated."




The settings on the phone, which work are:
Type: PPTP
<checked> PPP encryption (MPPE)

Here are the error messages from the Event Viewer

 

PPTP VPN

I just installed and configured a PPTP VPN on a Centos 6 VM and it works very well.

You will need ppp and pptpd installed as well as "Development Tools"

You will need to ensure ip_forwarding is enabled in sysctl.conf

You will want to add the appropriate iptables rules for port 1723.

Finally will want to set your IP range for tunneling, point to googles DNS (optional) and add usernames/password.

I highly recommend this if you are like me and like to VPN using wireless from an untrusted location.
