How to port forward to client(windows) after installing pptp on AWS Ubuntu?

tester98 · 11-04-2022, 08:53 PM

hello.
After installing pptp on AWS Ubuntu to run a web server (Windows) using a public IP, I succeeded in connecting to the Ubuntu pptp server with a Windows client.
The problem is that I need to forward port 80,443 from the AWS Ubuntu pptp server to the windows client.

I referenced this link that seems to be a similar case, but it didn't work

If anyone knows, please reply.

Why PPTP? It is insecure, not so useful, and has been recommended against for decades in favor of better, more secure protocols.

Have you looked at WireGuard, OpenVPN, StrongSwan, or even SSH for VPNs.

Or perhaps even better, SoftEther.

It includes a complete SSTP server, meaning you can connect using the built-in Windows SSTP client.
