I would like a little help on configuring pptp so I can use my server as a vpn server since I have 10 ip's on it and I travel a lot so that would really help me and my partners. I managed to install everything needed but my vpn client fails to connect due to some reason that I cannot understand.

I know there are 2 files in pptp that you're supposed to edit so I will post my 2 files here:

/etc/ppp/pptpd-options

name pptpd
refuse-pap
refuse-chap
refuse-mschap
require-mschap-v2
require-mppe-128
proxyarp
nodefaultroute
lock
nobsdcomp

/etc/pptpd.conf

option /etc/ppp/pptpd-options
logwtmp

localip xx.158.177.231
remoteip xx.158.177.103,xx.158.177.116,xx.158.177.121,xx.158.177.124,xx.158.177.125,xx.158.177.131,xx.158.177.134,xx.158.177.139,xx.158.177.142,xx.158.177.145
