I have a Linksys 8 port router. I need to know what ports I need to forward to my VPN server. DO I need to let IPSEC as well as L2TP, or just one or the other? I don't have anythong worth "hacking" so I don't think I "need" IPSEC, but whatever will make it work.

quoted from Which ports need to be opened for running VPN
A: PPTP VPN uses TCP Port 1723, IP Protocol 47 (GRE); L2TP: UDP Port 1701; IPSec: Pass protocol 50 and 51. Note: 47 is a protocol number and not TCP port. The protocol name is GRE. It'll make a big difference when configuring your firewall or router.
