Hi all,

Allow me to apologize in advance if I've overlooked something here. I am using
an OpenBSD workstation and have a need to establish a remote access VPN by
authenticating to an IPsec-protected L2TP LNS endpoint. The desired operation
is for the workstation to use the far-end ppp interface as its default
gateway.

My question is whether npppd can be configured in this manner. Reading through
the npppd and npppd.conf manpages, the configurations mainly appear to pertain
to configuring an L2TP server that remote users can then connect to, and in
fact I've only been able to find guides for such configurations online as
well. I'm trying to achieve the opposite of this. Am I simply overlooking
something?

For simplicity sake I'm not yet concerned about getting the IPSec layer
operational, which seems slightly more straightforward. Is there a way to
configure npppd as a LAC client or does it only function as an LNS? If the
latter, is there other software available that can act as a native LAC client
on OpenBSD? This is in reference to OpenBSD 5.8 stable.


Thank you,
Andrew Lester
