Subject: What to do if my router is blocking my VPN?
Got a new router when I moved to my new apartment. It appears to be blocking me from connecting to my work's VPN. (I connect just fine when on other wireless networks in my building)

Setting my computer to DMZ didn't help.

Any ideas?

(Edit: It gets past the port opening and all that, hangs on the "Verifying Username and Password" step)

Nevermind, that was amazingly easy. Just enabled PPTP passthrough (and by extension port address translation for GRE), problem solved.
