Hello all, Right now I'm able to connect to VPN using the following lines: pptp staffvpn.ecs.soton.ac.uk user <username> password <password> hide-password noauth require-mppe /sbin/route add -host staffvpn.ecs.soton.ac.uk gw 10.242.51.21 /sbin/route add -net 152.78.0.0/16 dev ppp0 /sbin/route del default /sbin/route add default dev ppp0
I just found out about NetworkManager so I got it and installed also the pptp plugin. There are several issues now. One is that the plugin only requires the VPN name (user custom), the gateway and that's it. Doesn't even ask for the server or any routes to add/delete. How does it work? Moreover, how is it possible that in Mac I only need to setup the server and connection type (PPTP) and I don't need the gateway to make it work and every single linux program asks me the gateway which depends on where I am at the moment with my laptop?
