I am using Telekom Secure Client Version 9.23 Build 90. Everything works as expected when I connect my laptop to the office WiFi and connect. When I am at home, I can't get past "Tunnel Setup". I guess that I need to configure my home router to open some ports but I don't know which ones. My router is a speedport W724V. I am using T-Mobile internet. Internet is on and WiFi is working. Here is the log I get when I try to connect:

The first thing you have to do is to connect to router. If you already know its IP, then use the browser and connect to. If you don't know the IP go to Start > RUN > cmd and type ipconfig|findstr "Default Gateway" and the result should be this one:

CMD screen

Use that IP to connect to your router. Once you are in the router's administration interface, enable the forwarding for the L2TP and PPP modes. The option is usually found in the Security > Firewall section. I have a TP-LINK, but it should be the same for you as well:

Security

Save the changes and eventually, reboot the router. If you have ports defined in Forwarding section, make sure to disable them or leave the ones you actually need and delete the rest of them.
