We have a lady that telecommutes from home. She has DSL, but where she lives has a hefty firewall blocking ports 0-1024. Is there a way to change the port that VPN is on so that she could connect over the firewall? I don't have too much info on the firewall from the place where she is living, but it is allowing her to get out, but not allowing anything back. I hope that is have explained this correctly.

Thanks,

Juan

The question would be if the firewall is honoring stateful/established connections. If this is the case, you could setup the VPN on your side (unfortunately you don't mention which VPN solution you use) to accept incoming connects on some well knownPort (eg. 80) and see if the back channels are honored.

If you could give me some more info on which VPN product, etc. I am sure I can be of help here :)
