This company: https://proxpn.com
sponsors my all-time-favorite podcast, which I heartily commend to you: http://twit.tv/show/security-now (the audio podcast is what I suggest, as the video adds very little) Anyway, you can get a free account from proxpn.com by giving them a working email address (no credit card or any other personal info). Here is what I used to get it working on gentoo: net-misc/networkmanager net-misc/networkmanager-pptp and I had to add these to my kernel config: CONFIG_PPP CONFIG_PPP_MPPE CONFIG_PPP_ASYNC The name of the server to give networkmanager is pptp.proxpn.com I confess I have no idea how to do all of this without networkmanager, but I'd like to hear from you networking nerds out there who know more about this stuff than I do.
