Ubuntu server PPTPD with OS X clients Problems
- by Nakedsteve
I'm trying to get a PPTP server running on a ubuntu server, but I've run into some issues with it. I followed this guide on how to set up pptpd on my server, and everything went smooth, but when I try to connect with my mac, it gives me this error:
Here's my configuration:
Does anyone have any idea as to what I'm doing wrong here?
Update: Here's what the pptpd.log has to say about it:
