Unable to use VPN in presence of OA Premium!

[Amit]

Hi,

I use SecurityKiss. But the VPN does not connect to the internet in presence of OA. As a result I cannot browse using the VPN.

Shutting down only OA allows me to use SecurityKiss again. When OA is shut down Windows XP firewall takes over automatically and no problem with SecurityKiss whatsoever.

So how do I configure OA so that SecurityKiss Tunnel works again when OA is turned on? I've tried programs, Ports in Firewall tab and everything is allowed as far as I can understand. Surely there is something I am missing. Can someone help me?

Best Wishes,

Had the same problem. Try adding Rule in the Firewall/Ports window: svchost ports 500, 4500 UDP direction In, and System port 1701 UDP direction In. This worked for me.

Glad you started a thread about this. I'll be interested to hear what works.

It did not work.

If you're using Online Armor in advanced mode, try again in standard mode. If that solves the issue you can switch back to advanced mode without issues.

Sorry, I left out svchost also needs UPD OUT 500, and 4500 also. Mine ( I have a different VPN company then yours, plus mine is L2TP/IPSec not PPTP ) also has svchost UPD OUT 53,67,500,3702, and 4500.

I'm using Comodo Firewall and when I installed SecurityKISS it just worked. Since VPNs are common and necessary, why does Online Armor need this complex tweaking for them to work?

I don't use OA, but aren't there logs you can use to help create the needed rules?

Yes, I had to enable some of them. Options/Firewall check "All activity" + "Additional debug info", to find out everything that is being block, and allowed.
I originally just had "All activity" without "Additional debug info" and still could not find how VPN was being blocked.

simple answer - you messed up some basic or standard settings.
As you can read it is possible with less effort. unfortunately i cannot help furter.

First of all I'm not using Online Armor - AMS963 is the user having the difficulty. This also appears to be your first post so when did you try to help before this?

I am using OA ++ and I am also using a VPN at times, although not the same one, and I didn't have to do anything special at all with OA to make it work.

Thanks, that's good to know. Maybe the OP should uninstall/reinstall to return Online Armor to default settings and see if that fixes his problem...?

Do you mean me?

My system runs VPN great with OA, what the hell are you talking about, nothing messed up here.

Thank you all for your wonderful help. Being disappointed and out of solutions I had to take the drastic step of turning OA into learning mode and open my vpn. Now it works.

My problem is solved.

Glad you got it working!

That's only part of the story. I had to connect through every server my vpn offers(60 of them) both tcp and udp, each time using OA in standard mode and learning mode.
