How to establish VPN connection in Tahrpup?

[cxw]

Hello ,
I just install puppy tahr in an old pc I had and the only thing I want is that every time it will start to connect at network through PPTP VPN so to use its IP as a gateway.

I am new in puppy but I have some experience with other Linux distros.
I can use only the command line mode , so I want to make it work with commands only.

Thanks

There is nothing unusual about the pptp implementation in Tahr. All the utilities needed to do what you want are already installed in puppy.

All you need to do is look around online for tips on how to use it in command-line mode.

http://linux.die.net/man/8/pptp

edit the /etc/ppp/options.pptp file and un-comment the line that reads:

Code: Select all

require-mppe-128

Then try something like this on the command line (substituting your valid info)

Code: Select all

pptp vpn.mycorp.com file /etc/ppp/options.pptp user mycorp\\myname password Frazel5nap!

It should connect ok, then:

Code: Select all

route add default ppp0

Now your default rout will be set to the VPN.
