I have Debian based system (Ubuntu 11.10) on XEN VPS. I've installed OpenVPN and works great. I need to install PPTP too, so did it and clients can connect, but they have no internet on client side. If I connect to VPN over PPTP I can ping and access to only my VPS by its IP, but ony that. There's no "internet" on client side. It looks it's not DNS problems (I'm using 8.8.8.8) because I can't ping known IPs. I bet the solution is simple, but don't have any idea. Any guess?
/etc/pptpd.conf
option /etc/ppp/pptpd-options
logwtmp
localip 46.38.xx.xx
remoteip 10.1.0.1-10
/etc/ppp/pptpd-options
name pptpd
refuse-pap
refuse-chap
refuse-mschap
require-mschap-v2
require-mppe-128
ms-dns 8.8.8.8
ms-dns 8.8.4.4
proxyarp
nodefaultroute
lock
nobsdcomp
/etc/ppp/ip-up
[...]
ifconfig ppp0 mtu 1400
/etc/sysctl.conf
[...]
net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
Command which I run:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j SNAT --to-source 46.38.xx.xx (IP of my VPS)
The client can connect, first one gets IP 10.1.0.1 and DNS from Google. I bet it's iptables problem, am I right? I'm iptables noob and I don't have idea what's wrong.
And here's the ifconfig and route command before client connect via PPTP:

As I said - OpenVPN works very good. 10.8.0.0/24 for OpenVPN (on tun0). PPTP won't work. 10.1.0.0/24 for PPTP (on ppp0). Clients can connect, but they haven't "internet". Any suggestions will be appreciated. Second whole day fighting with no results.
EDIT: iptables -t filter -F - it resolved my problem :-)
