										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">I spent hours trying to figure out why I couldn&#8217;t connect my Galaxy S7 onto my Synology using a PPTP VPN on the Proximus 3G/4G Network (Belgium) while it was working fine if connected via WiFi.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Finally, I gave up and configured a L2TP/IPSec VPN. This one worked immediately like a charm, both on WiFi and 3G/4G. I am quite sure this is due to Proximus configuring my profile to use CGN (Carrier Grade NAT).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="collapseomatic " id="id69b6612605fd1"  tabindex="0" title="Click to Read More"    >Click to Read More</span><span id='swap-id69b6612605fd1'  class='colomat-swap' style='display:none;'>Click to Close</span><div id="target-id69b6612605fd1" class="collapseomatic_content ">
<p>I was initially inspired by <a href="https://medium.com/@alexewerlof/using-synology-diskstation-as-a-vpn-server-using-built-in-android-vpn-client-f1b28f0d4560" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">this post</a> (&#8220;Using Synology DiskStation as a VPN server using built-in Android VPN client&#8221;). So;</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">I did first configure my Synology VPN Server to use PPTP as explained <a href="https://www.synology.com/en-us/knowledgebase/DSM/help/VPNCenter/vpn_setup" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a> (Official Knowledge base Synology)</li>
<li>Next, I did open my Synology Firewall (port 1723 for PPTP) via the Control Panel &gt; Security &gt; Firewall &gt; Edit Rules &gt; Edit an entry to Allow &gt; Select Built-in applications &gt; VPN Server (PPTP)</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/VPNFirewallNas.png"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-3798 size-medium" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/VPNFirewallNas-300x158.png" alt="Open Firewall Synology for VPN" width="300" height="158" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li>Then, I did configure my Modem to route the TCP port 1723 to my NAS via Access Control &gt; Port Mapping</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/VPNProximusConfig1.png"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-3799 size-medium" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/VPNProximusConfig1-300x176.png" alt="Configure Proximus Modem Route" width="300" height="176" /></a></p>
<p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/VPNProximusConfig2.png"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-3800 size-medium" src="/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/VPNProximusConfig2-300x170.png" alt="Configure Proximus Modem Route" width="300" height="170" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li>Finally, I configured a PPTP VPN on my Galaxy S7 via Settings &gt; Connections &gt; More connection settings &gt; VPN &gt; ADD VPN</li>
</ul>
<p>It worked immediately while connecting my Galaxy S7 via WiFi. But if failed while connected via 3G/4G. To investigate, I did enable the firewall of my dd-wrt router (placed between my modem and my NAS) and configured it to send all its firewall messages to the syslog server of my Synology (the &#8220;Log Center&#8221;). I those logs, I found packets corresponding most probably to the VPN requests from my Galaxy S7 (They were only arriving when I was trying to establish a connection). Those were not coming from my Galaxy S7&#8217;s IP. Instead, they were coming from another Proximus IP, with a protocol 47 (Generic Route Encapsulation)?! Could this be due to Proximus configuring my profile to use CGN (Carrier Grade NAT)? Unfortunately, I couldn&#8217;t check and reconfigure this myself as the option is not available anymore via the MyProximus administration interface&#8230;</p>
<p>So, I decided to give up with this PPTP VPN and use a more secure but less performant VPN: L2TP/IPSEC with a PSK (IPsec pre-shared key). And miracle, after opening and routing the UDP ports 500, 1701 and 4500, it worked !</p>
