Configure the vpn pptp connection type in CentOS6

Configure the vpn pptp connection type in CentOS6

Today, I want to connect to the remote VPN Server on my CentOS6, but after the following two packages are installed, there is no PPTP option when I select the VPN connection type in the connection configuration.

$ sudo yum install pptp $ sudo yum install NetworkManager-openswan

I checked it and didn't understand why. Later, I found a package named pptp-setup when I used the "sudo yum search pptp" command to find the package. I installed it with a try.

$ sudo yum install pptp-setup

Then I tried to connect to the VPN Server, and it was very easy to connect. below is my usage

$ sudo pptpsetup--create<tunnel>--server<server>--username<username>--password<password>--start

* Tunnel is an alias. You can use it as needed.
* The last parameter -- start indicates that the instance is started immediately after configuration.
After running the preceding command, you will receive a message similar to the following:

[root@webtools] #pptpsetup--createvpn1--serverx.x.x.x--usernamexx--passwordxx--start--encrypt Usinginterfaceppp0 Connect:ppp0<--> /dev/pts/2 CHAPauthenticationsucceeded MPPE128-bitstatelesscompressionenabled local IPaddress192.168.10.101 remoteIPaddress192.168.10.201

This indicates that the connection has been established. You can use ifconfig to view the connection status.
To delete a connection, run the following command:

$ sudo pptpsetup--delete<tunnel>
