Hi everyone,
I'm having a client-server VPN connection. On Window 10, I can access to the server quickly by filling the username and password. Then, I install Centos 7 using VMWare Workstation on Window. How can I connect to the VPN server on Centos 7 ?

Re: Connect to a VPN server on Centos 7
What sort of VPN?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Hi TrevorH, here comes a little bit update for my problem.
So far, I have installed
Code: Select all
EPEL, NetworkManager-pptp-gnome, pptp-1.7.2-22.el7 and kde-plasma-networkmanagement-openvpn
Then, I use the command
Code: Select all
nm-connection-editor
Code: Select all
** Message: vpn: (pptp,/etc/NetworkManager/VPN/nm-pptp-service.name) cannot load legacy-only plugin.

Have a look at Redhat Bugzilla, as this might be a known bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1467910

Thanks fdisk!
In the link you give me, the last comment points out the problem: "Because the old NetworkManager linked with the old libnm-util/libnm-glib and not with libnm. Download the latest source from gnome, compile it manually and it's working fine."
So it turns out that PPTP has been depreciated and EPEL tends to stop updating this method. The current version that EPEL provides for NetworkManager-pptp is 1.1.3 while the newest version on GNOME is 1.2.6. So I remove the 1.1.3 version from EPEL, download the latest NetworkManager-pptp-1.2.6.rpm and then reinstall it. Then, I can be able to establish a PPTP VPN client-server connection.
