Our VPN uses a specific port for it's traffic. However, some ISPs block
traffic on this port. The VPN server is listening on another port for
traffic besides this specific port. Does anyone know of a router that could
actually take traffic on one port and change it to a different port?

Any help is appreciated.

It would depend on the VPN protocol for this to be effective.

What VPN protocol are you using. What hardware or software
implementation of that VPN protocol are you using and what client
software do you use to connect? What ISP is blocking this connection
and is that ISP providing a NAT address or a fully routable address?

We are using Aventail. It typically uses port 1080 and 443. The problem is
that the client only talks on one port and the administrators of the system,
don't want to support multiple ports, so they have chosen 1080.

As far as the router goes, if there is a router that would do this port
address translation, we would buy it. I just don't know which router might
actually do something like this.

Thanks,

Vance
