What's the output of the two following commands?

sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward
sudo iptables-save

The first one outputs this net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

If your main purpose of setting up the VPN server is to access website, So traffic has to be forwarded out of the VPN server’s public network interface.Thus, kindly enable port forwarding by editing the sysctl.conf file. I assume “net.ipv4.ip_forward” is commented in the /etc/sysctl.conf file:

nano /etc/sysctl.conf

Add or find and comment out the following line

net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

Save, close the file and run the following command to make the changes take effect.

sysctl -p

The following iptables firewall rules allow port 1723, GRE and perform NAT

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 1723 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -p gre -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

In the last rule replace “eth0″ with the interface connecting to the internet on your VPN server. Finally the following rule is required to ensure websites load properly.

iptables -I FORWARD -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN -s 172.20.1.0/24 -j TCPMSS  --clamp-mss-to-pmtu

Replace 172.20.1.0/24 with the IP address range used in the “remoteip” option in the /etc/pptpd.conf this firewall rule is used to ensure a proper MTU value is used to prevent fragmentation.

Hope it could help.

Sure:

Hmm, unfortunately I am still having no luck after inputting those commands. Here is my full iptables file:

This is the log after I input the file as well as restarted iptables.

Thanks again for your help I really appreciate it so much!

Thanks so much that worked!
