    Hi,

    the clients must be Secure NAT clients to establish the VPN connection.
    Please also check the TMG live Logging if a Firewall Policy rule denies the request.
    The TMG Server is palced behind a Frontfirewall or a Router?

    Thank you for your time Marc

    my clients are Secure NAT clients , they have TMG server as they gateway .

    And my TMG topology is edge , it is not behind any firewall , there is only an ADSL modem and then my TMG server.

    when my clients wants to connect a VPN connection they receive errror number 691 that says your connection is not established because the port is closed .

    Hi,

    which type of VPN client connections have you configured (PPTP, L2TP/IPSEC / SSTP)
    The VPN client is the default VPN client from Windows or Third Party?
    Please also check the TMG live Logging if a Firewall Policy rule denies the request and tell use the results

    Hi

    they use pptp connections to connect and they don't have any third party soft wares , they use vpn connection from windows.

    I will absolutely check TMG live logging tomorrow when I go back to work :)

    thank you

    Thank you both for your time Marc and Nick Gu

    problem solved , it was because  PPTP filter was enable on PPTP protocol , when I disabled it , there was no problem for VPN connections.

    :) thank you
