That looks good. I've tried it, but have been unable to connect to the
office, which is running an MS PPtP server. I know the *can* work because
pptp-client can connect.
Does anyone have a working configuration I can use as an example please?
For what it's worth, I'm using this configuration (as stolen from
/usr/local/etc/mpd/mpd.conf.sample).
vpn:
new -i ng1 vpn vpn
set iface disable on-demand
set iface addrs 192.168.0.20 10.0.1.18
set iface idle 0
set iface route 10.0.1.0/24
set pptp peer 1.2.3.4
set bundle disable multilink
set bundle authname me
set bundle password mypassword
set link yes acfcomp protocomp
set link no pap
set link yes chap
# If remote machine is NT you need this..
set link enable no-orig-auth
set link keep-alive 10 75
set ipcp no vjcomp
set ipcp ranges 192.168.0.20/32 10.0.1.18/32
where 1.2.3.4 is the public IP address of the office
192.168.0.20 is the internal NIC of my dual-homed gateway
10.0.1.0/24 is the interal office LAN
