  • Configure your router to forward traffic to VPPPN
  • Open the port on your local firewall

N.B. Some NAT routers will maintain the port open on which outgoing traffic has been sent it may be worth waiting for a few minutes and trying again to ensure the port is being forwarded correctly after a period on no network activity.
