First, thank you for the time in reading all that output. I re-read the instructions on the VPN provider's site and they do require that to be enabled. I think the mixup may be on what I am sending as credentials. Since the web site tells all callers to use the following credentials, I will quote them as anybody can go there and see the same things so I am not breaking any confidences: PPTP Server: ukvpn.ufreevpn.com Username: ufreevpn.com Password: free The important line in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets then reads: ufreevpn.com ukvpn.ufreevpn.com free When running the test, There is much that only tells you I sent something and got something back. Obviously, one of those long keys is based on wrong information or it would simply work An interesting thing I notice in the output just before all the black smoke, screams, blood and mayhem is the following pair of long lines with the first coming from ukvpn.ufreevpn.com. rcvd [CHAP Challenge id=0x87 <a0b990d5ad2c7d7704006cbea2820124>, name = "pptpd"] sent [CHAP Response id=0x87 <8c5f07f43be4aa20e96287ace081d368000000000000000054c28032245f15a84b4706847c8bcc6c9b17c7a8639b7cfb00>, name = "ufreevpn"] The remote server sent the name "ptpd". I sent "ufreevpn" and I am wondering if they should be the same? A couple of lines of binary later, the authentication fails. Man! I love authentication trouble. It's the ultimate case of 20-thousand moving parts. One's broken. Go figure. Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
