VPN Server SETUP In Debian Linux

 

Install necessary software

Apt-get install pptpd kernel-tree-2.6.10 kernel-package

Apt-get install kernel-patch-mppe libc6-dev

Decompress Linux kernel

Cd/usr/src

Tar xjf kernel-source-2.6.10.tar.bz2

Configure the kernel

I copied an existing config file.

Cd/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.10

Cp/boot/config-2.6.10-1-686-smp. config

Compile the kernel

Make-kpkg -- added-patches debian, mppe -- append-to-version-686-smp-mppe -- initrd kernel_image

Then go to tea

Install and restart the new kernel.

Cd/usr/src/

Dpkg-I kernel-image-2.6.10-686-smp-mppe_10.00.Custom_i386.deb

Update-grub

Reboot

Configure pptpd

Vi/etc/pptpd. conf

Modify localip and remoteip, and change localip to the IP address of the server. remoteip is the IP address used by the login machine, as shown in figure

Localip 1.2.3.4

Remoteip 1.2.3.50-70

Configure chap-secrets

Vi/etc/ppp/chap-secrets

If you do not limit the ip address, you can change it to the following format:

Username pptpd password *

If the IP address is restricted, you can change it

Username pptpd password 162.105.0.0/16 166.111.0.0/16

Configure network

/Etc/network/options

Modify the ip_forward Option

Ip_forward = yes

Restart network and pptpd

/Etc/init. d/networking restart

/Etc/init. d/pptpd restart

Test

If you are lucky, you can use tail-f/var/log/syslog for monitoring during testing.
