Why are only X packets forwarded out through my WAN connection when I use PPTP?

When using PPTP on the WAN side, you may run into a problem where only a few packets are forwarded out though the WAN interface before they start being dropped. When this happens, it usually has to do with the GRE receive window size on the CDRouter WAN side. Increasing the window size should resolve this problem. This is done by increasing the value of testvar greReceiveWindow. A safe value for this is 5000, particularly for the forward.tcl module. This would be set by adding the following to your configuration file:

  testvar greReceiveWindow    5000
