VPN and ESX 3.5

Hi, I am bit confused. My setup is a single server using ESX 3.5 UP2 (august update) and I want setup a number of virtual machines on that server who will be placed in servercamp in a datacentre.

The problem is that I want to have these severs secured by a VPN solution. As I see ESX 3.5UP2 should one of the VM's act as VPN server. But how do I open a port in ESX 3.5UP2 in order to allow incoming VPN connections, say UDP 21933?

Any suggestions would greatly appreciated!

If you want open the UDP/21833, in the service console run this command:

esxcfg-firewall -o 21833,udp,in,THE_NAME_OF_SERVICE
