Jon,
I do it this way:
pptp VPN server
/etc/pptpd.conf
option /etc/ppp/options.pptp
debug (comment out after testing)
localip 192.168.7.12 <http://192.168.7.12>
remoteip 192.168.7.2-5
pidfile /var/run/pptpd.pid
/etc/ppp/options.pptp
lock
noauth
nobsdcomp
lcp-echo-failure 10
lcp-echo-interval 10
/etc/ppp/options
name bonza.rbpllc.com <http://bonza.rbpllc.com>
noipdefault
noauth
lock
local
lcp-echo-interval 30
lcp-echo-failure 4
lcp-max-configure 60
lcp-restart 2
idle 600
noipx
file /etc/ppp/filters
proxyarp
ms-dns 192.168.7.15 <http://192.168.7.15>
ms-wins 192.168.7.15 <http://192.168.7.15>
refuse-chap
refuse-mschap
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* bonza.rbpllc.com <http://bonza.rbpllc.com> ""
<username> <yourserver.yourdomain.com
<http://yourserver.yourdomain.com>> <password> *
/etc/ppp/chap-secrets
<username> * <password> *
Of course, use your own information and get rid of the "< >"
in the pap
and chap-secret files. Good luck. This works like a charm. Just don't
forget to open [port 1723] in your firewall and router for accessing the
server locally as well as remotely. Also, you may need:
# TAG: bcrelay <if>
bcrelay eth0
in /etc/pptpd.conf if you are running an older version of pptpd to
improve remote browsing.
Thanks, David
Just a few questions before I try this solution.
Are you on FreeBSD too? As far as I understand, the main configuration
file here is /usr/local/etc/pptpd.conf. Or should it live in /etc/?
What does the line "file /etc/ppp/filters" refer to?
Can you use this configuration to join a Samba domain?
Regards,
Jon
Jon,
It doesn't matter where the conf file goes. That is determined at
compile time with the ./configure options. If your setup wants it in
/usr/local, then that's where it goes. I'm running Linux, but as far as
pptpd is concerned it shouldn't care. You may just have to adjust the
path information to work with your setup. I would just make the
configuration changes and start pptpd. You will get all the messages you
need in /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog depending on your setup.
