Connecting to the vpn Server through pptpconfig in linux

Linux uses pptpconfig to connect to the vpn Server-Linux Enterprise Application-Linux server application information. The following is a detailed description. If it is in Windows XP, you can directly connect to the vpn Server by using the XP dial-up software. The configuration is very simple, but there is no default vpn Client software in linux, this makes it difficult to connect to a vpn Server in linux. Next I will record the methods and steps for connecting to the vpn Server through pptpconfig in linux, hoping to help new users.

My runtime environment: centOS4.4.

1, download and install (http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/), please download software packages related to your operating system, if there is a package dependency during installation, please find and install rpmfind.net (my system depends on the libglade-0.17-13.2.1.i386.rpm, libxml-1.8.17-9.i386.rpm), the list of software to download is as follows:

Php-gtk-pcntl-1.0.2-1.i386.rpm
Pptp-1.7.1-3.i386.rpm
Php4-pcntl-4.4.1-2.i386.rpm
Php4-pcntl-gtk-1.0.2-2.i386.rpm
Pptpconfig-20060821-1.fc5.noarch.rpm
Installation:
All packages and dependent packages above rpm-ivh

2. Configuration and use

If the installation is successful, su to the root user and run pptpconfig. php.
Note: before running the command, make sure that/usb/sbin and/sbin are in the system path. Otherwise, no ip address or pptp command error is found.
Solution:
[Root @ eadd-lyb] # export PATH = $ PATH:/usr/sbin/:/sbin/
Run:
[Root @ eadd-lyb] # pptpconfig. php

For the use of software, I don't want to go into details. You will know it at a glance!
However, you must select all the options under the miscellaneous tag. Otherwise, an output error occurs.
The server in the Server label is the address or domain name of the vpn server, Username, and Password of the vpn Server.

After the settings, start.... If the settings are correct, you can connect to the vpn Server:

In this way, you can communicate with the vpn Server through the IP address of the vpn Server obtained through the connection.

For example, if you get the vpn Server address 192.168.1.16, you can access the web Service of the vpn Server through http: // 192.168.1.16.
