PPTP VPN blocked by Firewalla Gold Pro
Hello every one,
I am quite new to Firewalla and so far I've hit an issue that is very strange to me. I have a FW Gold Pro, in terms of internet and lan all works ok. But on my laptop I have a PPTP VPN to a router Asus RT-AX55 that I want to connect to and it doesn't work.
I am trying to connect to PPTP VPN from my laptop not Firewalla to ASUS.
If I replace Firewalla with a Mikrotik router (with the same settings as Firewalla) works like a charm, but not firewalla. Tech support from Firewalla they have a standard answer that the issue is not because of Firewalla.
ON Firewalla I have activated NAT passthrough - other wise it won't do anything. I have forwarded port 1723 for PPTP.
Other than this I have no idea what can I do to have a standard VPN working from my laptop....
Any suggestions?

Can you please describe a little on how you are using the PPTP to Asus? Is the Asus off at another site? Is the client your laptop talking through firewalla over internet to a Asus router?
Do the Asus manual pages require you to port forward? most of the time, all you need to do is enable NAT passthrough. If you have port forward, if you turn it off, does it work?

So the ASUS is turned on at the other location. I have Windows VPN client configured on my laptop.
Is the client your laptop talking through firewalla over internet to a Asus router? - this one I don't understand.
I am connected to the internet behind a Firewalla Gold Pro and I try to connect via VPN PPTP to the ASUS - and it's not working. If I replace Firewalla with the old Mikrotik or any other router this VPN connection is working.
Do the Asus manual pages require you to port forward?
No.
all you need to do is enable NAT passthrough. If you have port forward, if you turn it off, does it work?
In ideal case yes, but not now. Nothing works. I have NAT passthrough enabled, portforward on or off - result is the same...

Do you recall any specific settings you had on the old Mikrotik that may be there to make things work?
Firewalla has no issue with NAT passthrough PPTP with many different corporate VPN clients, we never encountered ASUS PPTP service, so curious if you may have configured something else? (May be check MTU on the mikrotik?)
