Hi there
Does anybody know?
Is there a known issue with centro grande dsl router and PPTP VPN over swisscom net? We have several customers that can’t establish a connection any more - since about 2 or 3 weeks.
Thanks for some help

I don't know, but when you mention PPTP VPN I'd just like to point out that this has been totally broken last year, so it's about as good as transmitting your data in plain text...
Technically, it might be due to the GRE tunnel used by PPTP - and if there is a carrier grade NAT involved, they usually fail to handle this.
I'd recommend going from PPTP VPN to OpenVPN - it is much more robust to mistreatment by NATs, and more secure as well.

Hello eveyrbody,
Does anyone know who I have to speak with among major telephone service providers in Switzerland (Swisscom, Salt and Sunrise would be a good start), in order to correct errors with rates / prices of certain destinations / countries? Thanks, have a nice day, Julien

are you sure, this is and error or just overpriced based on marketing decisions? ;-)

Of course you're right ! I still noticed that some special services are wrongly considered as satellite services, with crazy prices, while they should be treated as local calls, or at worst international landline calls. That's only few consumers, but those concerned are heavily damaged :)
