Configure firewall to accept connections

Go to Control Panel > Windows Firewall
Click Advanced Settings in the left menu
Now Click Input Rules. Then click the Actions menu and click New Rule…..
An assistant opens. In the first step, select Port and click Next .
Select TCP. In the Specific ports deleted box, type 1723 and click Next .
Now select the Allow connection option and click Next again.
Apply rule to all
In the Name and Description fields, enter anything you want and click Finish.

Now that you have configured your Windows firewall to accept connections. You must also configure the router. I can’t explain all router settings because they differ from router to router, but I can help by giving you some tips – enable PPTP and GRE (Generic Route Encapsulation) on the router, or enable PPTP, or create a port to port 1723. If your router has an additional setting for PPTP or VPN, make sure it is enabled. Your computer is now ready to receive the VPN connection.

I hope you enjoyed the tutorial.
