Is it possible to create a VPN server on a home account?

I am trying to create a simple VPN, with Windows 10 on both client and server machines. It's not working. A chat session with Telus tech support was fruitless - the fellow was pleasant, but had little applicable knowledge.
My Telus gateway/router is the Actiontec V1000H, with firmware 31.122L.19. On it,
1. I have forwarded port 1723 to the server computer.
2. I have locked the internal IP address for the server computer.
On the Windows 10 server computer,
1. I have opened the firewall to "Routing and Remote Access."
2. I have created the "Incoming Connection" to be the VPN server.
On the Windows 10 client computer,
1. I have created the VPN client.
I won't get into the VPN software details unless we need to.
The client VPN informs me that the "network connection between your computer and the VPN server was interrupted."
Telnet and Ping, running on the client PC, both return results of "timed out."
The ShieldsUp program could see my IP, and determined that port 1723 was open.
Does anyone know if what I am trying to do is possible? I don't see any reason that it shouldn't be, but I'm not sure if Telus is blocking something, or if perhaps I have something configured wrong.
