Setup for Ubuntu Linux?

[ejones]

Anyone know the correct setup for VPN on Ubuntu Linux? I'm using PPTP, but the Windows instructions don't give adequate directions for Linux. I did enter a support ticket, but they suggested I ask other users instead.

Dear Ejones,

Nice to see you here at Forums.

Yes as said, PureVPN officially supports MAC and Windows OS's and Linux, is although compatible, but not supported by our techs through tickets. We have reports that the geeks have been able to make their way through and we would appreciate if someone would be able to share his/her expertise and help ejones.

I managed to get it working. The protocols are not all the same, but it started working once I redid the setup. Thanks.

We would appreciate if you can share the idea with your fellow users and guests.

I am running LinuxMint8 and am successfully using pureVPN. This should work for Ubuntu as well. Here are the steps that I took.

sudo apt-get install network-manager-pptp pptp-linux

Open network manager and create new VPN connection.

Select: Point-to-Point Tenneling Protocol (PPTP)

Click "Create"

Enter your preferred Connection Name

Enter the gateway IP address

Enter username

Click "Advanced"

Select CHAP and deselect all others

Make sure MPPE is deselected

Select:

Allow BSD data compression

Allow Deflate data compression

Use TCP header compression

Send PPP echo packets

Click "OK"

Click "Apply"

Click on Network Manager in the system icon tray.

Select VPN Connections

Select "yourvpn"

Enter password

Click "Connect"

I am using knoppix 6.2 dvd and glycosbios suggestion works here also.

Those who aren't famillar with knoppix, we run knoppix from DVD and it include vpn client with and this is also based on Ubuntu.

again glycosbios suggestion will definately work Ubuntu as far I can see.

Thank glycosbios! It saves lot of research!
