PPTP Client setup, Fedora 17
- by Suarez Romina
I am trying to connect to hidemyass.com VPN services via PPTP, but I am having issues understanding why it isn't working, since I don't get a warning or fatal error and my IP remains the same.
This is how i create the connection:
[root@lasvegas-nv-datacenter ~]# pptpsetup --create TUNNELNAME --server 199.58.165.20 --username MYUSERNAME --password MYPASSWORD --encrypt --start
And this is the output:
Using interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 <-- /dev/pts/1
CHAP authentication succeeded
MPPE 128-bit stateless compression enabled
local IP address 10.200.21.14
remote IP address 10.200.20.1
After that, I check the log and this is what i get:
[root@lasvegas-nv-datacenter ~]# tail -f /var/log/messages

Can someone help me?
Basically, i Ieed to connect to the VPN and have my IP changed after the connection.
I read a lot of guides but still cannot understand why I don't get a connection.
