PPTP VPN client - option missing

Post by mearturo » 2017/11/04 15:53:14

Hello all

I am sure I am asking a dull question, so apologies in advance.

I used to have an option to create PPTP connections in Network Manager (Gnome), but that option is gone now. Centos 7, 3.10.0-693.5.2.el7.x86_64, latest version.

I have tried adding all the pptp and networkmanager packages I found in multiple posts of the problem, but I can't solve this situation.

Any idea will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

you can try this way:
# yum install pptp
# modprobe nf_conntrack_pptp

"Now, we need to add CHAP credentials as provided above into /etc/ppp/chap-secrets file:"

# echo 'admin PPTP 00000000 *' >> /etc/ppp/chap-secrets

At this stage, using the above VPN connection information we need to create peer VPN config file and save it into /etc/ppp/peers/ directory. Enter the below code into a file called linuxconfig while replacing VPN server IP, name and ipparam directives:

pty "pptp 123.123.1.1 --nolaunchpppd"
name admin
remotename PPTP
require-mppe-128
file /etc/ppp/options.pptp
ipparam linuxconfig

Hope that helps :)
