PopTop problem on FreeBSD 9

comnetboy · Jul 24, 2012

I installed net/poptop on FreeBSD 8.2 (My VPN Server) and I was successful to connect a Windows XP to it. But I couldn't install net/poptop on FreeBSD 9. So I copied the config files from 8.2 version. pptpd(8) is started on 9 now but I can't connect from XP. I get

Code:

error 800: Unable to establish the vpn connection. The VPN server may be unrechable or security parameters may not be configured properly for this connection.

Here are my config files. I need help please.

/usr/local/etc/pptpd.conf

Code:

debug
noipparam
localip 192.168.0.136
remoteip 172.16.10.120-200
pidfile /var/run/pptpd.pid

/etc/ppp/ppp.conf

Code:

pptp:

Fortunately I found a way in another thread. I updated the ports using

Code:

 portsnap fetch extract

after that I installed poptop on freebsd9 successfully. Now I want to know how we can make pptpd working without using poptop and something like that. I mean installing pptpd manually. which files with which config should we add or change? can anyone help in this regard?

thanks in advance
