There are several different types of VPN.
Find out exactly what it is you want, to what kind of VPN server etc.

Hi there! I have the save (i hope) situation as you and I have the solution.
Hope youre not scaring console works? So lets begin (all is done under root):

  1. install pptp and ppp packets in YAST.
$ cd /etc/ppp
$ vim chap-secrets

open pap-secrets and chap-secrets (I don`t remember which one is needed) and make new line:
yourname * yourpassowrd *
where yourname and yourpassword are name and password for VPN connection.
3)

$ cd /etc/ppp/peers
$ touch provname
$ vim provname

type this lines inside


pty "/usr/sbin/pptp 192.168.100.1 --nolaunchpppd"
connect /bin/true
name yourname
115200
noauth
debug
updetach
remotename *
proxyarp
defaultroute
#usepeerdns

You can try to enable or disable some parameters, like usepeerdns or others, to make it work for you.
Replace yourname and adress for your VPN username and server ip.
Now just try this:

$ pppd call provname

where provname is file you created in /etc/ppp/peers.
If it connects, but nothing works, or you lost connection - you need to add route to your local network constantly.
Just type this:

$ route del default
$ route add -net 192.168.100.0/24 gw 192.168.100.1

Where 192.168.100.1 is your gateway and 192.168.100.0/24 is your network and mask. May be you should use 192.168.0.0/16 or even 192.0.0.0/8
Hope i not mess it up. If you have more questions - just ask.
Sorry for my english, if it`s foul. :wink:

I’ve got a newsflash for you: all the questions asked here are “very important”
(for the requesters that is). Don’t expect special treatment just for claiming
VIP status.

Here’s some stuff to study.

May be he is from Russia, as me )) There is a bad tradition here: ask first, read info later :slight_smile: But dont you think the forums are for helping others? I choose to find answers here instead of Russian forums and IRCs because people are twice friendly (dont know, why its so...). So lets stay friendly ))
All before is IMHO.

I don’t see the relevance of where OP’s from.

Subscribers that are careful with how they describe their problems and what
they expect typically get quicker and better answers then people who just
toss up some random keywords with ‘help’ attached at the end.

Same here.
