pptp-client

1. Set up pptp-client, we need to edit 2 files with content as following

   [root@mini peers]# pwd
   /etc/ppp/peers
   [root@mini peers]# cat apricot
   # written by pptpsetup
   pty "pptp 188.16x.xx9.x39 --nolaunchpppd"
   lock
   noauth
   nobsdcomp
   nodeflate
   name tonic9
   remotename apricot
   ipparam apricot
   require-mppe-128
   

2. Since we use name=tonic9, we need to add user tonic9 in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets'

   [root@mini peers]# grep tonic9 /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
   tonic9          apricot         "tonic@dmin"    *
   [root@mini peers]# 
   

xl2tp-server

On server, we need

1. config xl2tp

   [root@Bluefin xl2tpd]# tail -15 /etc/xl2tpd/xl2tpd.conf
   
   [global]
   port = 1701
   access control = no
   
   [lns default]
   ;ip range = 10.90.100.240-10.90.100.250
   ;local ip = 10.90.100.254
   ip range = 10.50.30.1-10.50.30.200 
   local ip = 10.50.30.254
   require authentication = yes
   name = LinuxVPN
   pppoptfile = /etc/ppp/options.xl2tp
   
   [root@Bluefin xl2tpd]# 
   

2. Put following content in /etc/ppp/options.xl2tp

   [root@Bluefin ppp]# pwd
   /etc/ppp
   [root@Bluefin ppp]# cat options.xl2tp 
   noccp
   auth
   mtu 1410
   mru 1410
   nodefaultroute
   proxyarp
   silent
   debug
   ms-dns 8.8.4.4
   
   [root@Bluefin ppp]#
