Draytek VPN PPTP Issues

Hi all,

So we've just switched to a Draytek Vigor 3900 and been trying to setup VPN's for users to access network drives etc from home. From our understanding, this is a fairly simply process that is done by creating user profiles in the router, enabling them to use PPTP and then just giving them the login details?

This works "most" of the time but for some reason, anyone on an iPhone Hotspot cannot use the VPN, windows just keeps spinning when connecting then throws error 619 (Saying the port is now closed or something?) has anyone had a similar experience?

Also we've added eta.local in the DNS Suffix for their VPN's in the network adapter settings and had to modify a rasphone.pbk document in %appdata% so that windows doesn't try using their VPN logins to access network shares as their windows credentials and VPN ones are different.

Overall however we've been running into all sorts of issues, if it's not the first issue regarding iPhone hotspots not connecting at all, users can't access network shares, their accounts get locked as windows I assume tries loading the network shares with the VPN credentials and the DC locks them out?

Has anyone had similar experiences or can recommend a better way of trying to achieve what we are reliably and conveniently? There's only around 25 users that work from home/on the field.
