Ubuntu PPTP VPN + MS Windows XP

Šis ir mazs apkopojums par to kā ērti uzstādīt PPTP serveri...

Servera pusē:

sudo apt-get install pptpd

tad jāpierediģē "/etc/pptpd.conf." - jānokomentē rindiņa kurā izmanto "logwtmp" un pēc gaumes jāpierediģē "localip" un "remoteip".

Kā pēdējais ir "/etc/ppp/chap-secrets" kurā jāpievieno lietotājs un parole (jā, tieši tā - "plain-textā")

lietotājs pptpd parole *

/etc/init.d/pptpd restart

Klients - Ubuntu Feisty (un citi)
apt-get install network-manager-pptp
Install the network-manager-pptp package, and if it was not already installed, restart the network manager applet and Network Manager:
o right-click the network icon on your system tray and choose Remove,
o Alt/F2, run nm-applet, and the network icon will return,
o restart Network Manager:
sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager restart
sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/26NetworkManagerDispatcher restart

* left-click network icon, choose VPNS then configure, then add a VPN with the wizard,
* left-click network icon, then VPNS then the VPN you created,
* watch the logs to see if it worked:
sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog
