Limitation on number of Incoming VPN Connections in Window..

External Since: May 12, 2007 Posts: 1

Seems like a simple question that should be answered in the documentation. Is
Windows Vista 32 Ultimate limited to a single incoming VPN connection? If
not, how to I increase the number on simultaneous VPN Connections?

To add to Bob's comments, AFAIK you can *NOT* increase that beyond one
incoming connection. That is hard coded into the OS. You either need to
upgrade to a server class OS like Windows 2003 Server or use a third-party
server package like Secure Shell (SSH) or OpenVPN for example. Another
alternative would be a VPN end-point type router.

For general home use remote access I run a SSH server package on my Vista
Ultimate desktop PC. That works very well for me. In my case I use the
copSSH server package and the Tunnelier client.
