KVM VPS - VPN Error (from their VPS)
BypassCensorship
Member
I recently purchased a Sweden KVM LEB (126 Mb RAM), and set up a PPTP VPN.
PPP is enabled.
I did everything in this post:
http://www.lowendguide.com/networking/pptp-debianubuntu-openvz-setup-script/
But...
I'm getting an Error 800 when I try to connect.
I really have no idea how to fix this because I setup everything correctly (it worked on my other LEB). Any ideas?

If you got kvm why dont you set up OpenVPN-AS? More secure and super easy install. Imposible to fail. XD

He needs pptp maybe for some reason.
You should probably remove Edis' name from the title, it's not them that's causing your VPN install to fail.
Yeah, I have heard of Microsoft's encryption being bruteforced easily.
I'll see what I can do with OpenVPN. I did try to install it unsuccessfully on my other LEB.
Follow that link, super easy!
Alright, I will.
Done. I did not insist on Edis.At being the source of the problem. I simply added that for more information.
If everything else fails, you can use this: http://board.prometeus.net/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=828&sid=d46314d8417724d50f37a6fdc799fdcd
You can also use putty, but it is a bit more complicated.

Thanks for that link! I'll check it out if I capitulate on the OpenVPN installation.
The only problem with OpenVPN access server is its restriction to only 2 active useres, if you want more you have to pay the licence.
Really? Wow.
Any alternatives?
Yes, OpenVPN (without access server package). You can't go wrong if you follow this tutorial step by step https://forum.ramhost.us/bbs/viewtopic.php?id=4
What's the difference between the normal one and the server access package one?
OpenVPN Access Server (OpenVPN-AS) is a set of installation and configuration tools that simplify the rapid deployment of a VPN remote access solution.
OpenVPN AS = OpenVPN management UI. Nothing what you wouldn't be able to do manually with tutorials above but without 2 active users restrictions.
AS eats ~60mb ram and has a webgui, regular OpenVPN uses around 5mb ram and doesn't have a webgui.
Was your other vps also a kvm or openvz?
