my connection to pptp gets terminated when I try to do a speedtest on speedtest.net

I have a vps account with centos 5 installed. It uses openvz for virtualization.

on /var/logs/messages the error says:

I followed the instructions here on installing pptp

and this question is connected to How do I add eth0 on centos 5 that is using openvz

the question is: how do I make that speedtest page work?

The problem can be either on the host or one the client side. Make sure port 1723 and protocol 47 are allowed on both sides.

  • my iptables rules are here: http://serverfault.com/questions/528815/how-do-i-add-eth0-on-centos-5-that-is-using-openvz i do believe 1723 is open. dont know how to check port 47 is though – reikyoushin Aug 05 '13 at 19:21
