PPTP VPN help
Hi,
Im trying to connect to a PPTP VPN I have set up using this script I have set it up server side without any issues I can see. I try and connect on my Iphone but get no error message and it wont connect, I then move to my computer to try and trouble shoot, I get error message 734
the the PPP link control was terminated, I play with the PPT settings on my computer trying various options but not geting any where. The next step is google and I learn its mostly "encrypted passwords" so I play around sending them encrypted but still no joy. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

@nabo
It seems to be this, when trying to connect from both Iphone and computer.
May 7 00:21:12 root pptpd[26280]: CTRL: Reaping child PPP[26281]

Not a good log... check if PPP and MPPE is loaded on your VPS
cat /dev/ppp
cat: /dev/ppp: No such device or address
Not sure how to check for that /RAGE/
with your provider =P

Will do, thanks for your help.

Looks like no PPTP Vpn for myself /:
"Hello,
I do not think .18 Kernels support MPPE unfortunately, It would mean recompiling the kernel. Qhich is a unnesseccary inconvienence to clients on the same node.
If you can find a work around then sure we will be happy to assist."
@Taylor Lol @ My failed grammar, I have had this question before and I am pretty sure that it is not possible on standard .18 Kernels.
You can still run PPP just without encryption.

Can you explain how I would go about doing that server side?
@Taylor This should do the Job.. http://www.putdispenserhere.com/pptp-vpn-setup-guide-for-a-debian-openvz-vps/
@Jacob
I cannot see what this does that the script I used doesn't.

@Taylor Let me know the VPS IP and the node you are on, I will take a look.
Thanks, it should be in the ticket you replied to, im on the UK node.

@Jacob Load the modules on that page, encyption works fine as all my ovz nodes are EL5 2.1.18 kernel
@miTgiB Thankyou! There is little to nothing online regarding what modules to enable.
@Taylor Try it now, All credit goes to tim.
@Jacob massive thanks for going over what's expected, thanks @miTgiB for the sound advice !
Did it worked?
Yep
