I need to connect to work using pptp vpn from my FreeBSD laptop. This can be done using mpd (version 5, in net/mpd5). I just created the sections startup: and default: and copied pptp_client from /usr/local/etc/mpd5/mpd.conf, all into /usr/local/etc/mpd5/mpd.conf. As the server at work is MS i also merged the MPPE lines from pptp_vpn. The final result is the following:
startup:
default:
load pptp_client
pptp_client:
#
# PPTP client: only outgoing calls, auto reconnect,
# ipcp-negotiated address, one-sided authentication,
# default route points on ISP's end
#
create bundle static B1
set iface route 1.2.3.146/28
set ipcp ranges 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
set bundle enable compression
set ccp yes mppc
set mppc yes e40
set mppc yes e128
set bundle enable crypt-reqd
set mppc yes stateless
create link static L1 pptp
set link action bundle B1
set auth authname ********
set auth password *****'**
set link max-redial 0
set link mtu 1460
set link keep-alive 20 75
set pptp peer 1.2.3.4
set pptp disable windowing
open
One thing to note is that I do not use “set iface route default” as in the sample conf file. This is because the work lan and wan has the same ip-range even tough some addresses are only on the lan and others are only on the internet. If the lan part of the network had a more traditional layout (as 192.168.1.*) the default should work…
