I can connect successfully using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, but not with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Both machines are off the network I'm trying to VPN into and are on the same network. Windows Firewall is disabled on both machines. No antivirus on either machine, clean Windows installs. I'm using Windows VPN client with the following. WINDOWS 7 VPN ERROR 619 SYNOLOGY ★ Most Reliable VPN. Fast Servers in 94 Countries. WINDOWS 7 VPN ERROR 619 SYNOLOGY 100% Anonymous. 24/7 Support. The bright red Jeep Wrangler Unlimited you see up above might not look particularly noteworthy at first glance. Look closer, though, and you'll see one very important letter on the 1 last update 2019/09/21 tailgate. Try other standard repairs and troubleshooting steps. Reboot the client computer. Delete and reinstall the VPN client configuration settings. Find another computer that has a working setup to compare your network configurations with the properly working computer, looking for any differences.
While trying to connect with the Windows VPN client, the client hangs at the 'Verifying user name and password...' message for about 10 seconds, and then I get the following error message:
Error 619: A connection to the remote computer could not be established, so the port used for this connection was closed.

I'm using Windows VPN client with the following settings:
- Options tab: Unchecked 'Include Windows logon domain'
- Security tab: 'Type of VPN' set to PPTP, 'Data encryption' set to Optional, CHAP and MS-CHAP v2 checked
- Networking tab: IPv6 disabled, use remote gateway disabled
- Network IP(DHCP)/Subnet: 192.168.10.x 255.255.255.252
The server:
- pptpd linux package running on Raspbian Wheezy OS
- Network IP(Static)/Subnet: 192.168.1.x 255.255.255.0
pptpd.conf:
logwtmp
localip 192.168.1.161
remoteip 192.168.1.234-238,192.168.1.245
The router is a Linksys WRT160N v3 running DD WRT firmware with GRE 47 enabled and port 1723 forwarded correctly to the server.
What could be the problem and how can I fix it?
EDIT(NEW FINDINGS):When DMZ is enabled, the Windows Home machine can connect to the VPN, when disabled it can't. However, the Windows Professional machine can connect in both scenarios. What's even more frustrating is that even if I forward all ports(1-65535) to the server, the Home machine won't connect. The DMZ must do something that the Home Edition can't live without.

A quick fix for DD-WRT not forwarding GRE PPTP packets.
Add the following commands to the startup commands (Administration->Commands):
As a side note, I'm not sure why the Professional machine was able to connect correctly and at this point I don't really care now that I have a real solution that isn't enabling the DMZ.
In /etc/ppp/pptpd-options, check for following options
In /etc/pptpd.conf, add or un-comment
In /etc/ppp/options, add or un-comment
Restart pptpd.
Connect VPN with Win 7 Pro, then disconnect. Then connect VPN with Win 7 Home, wait for error. Compare the /var/log/syslog entries of the two connections.
John SiuThere are a lot of network related features missing in Home Premium that are available in Professional and Ultimate versions. Features like joining a domain, VPN, RDP and some support for secure protocols are all missing in Home Premium. This could be the reason why you can connect with Professional and not with Home Premium.
Start from this link and you'll see what I mean. A quick search will show you the list of features missing in Home Premium as compared to Professional
