my hope is that a) i am too stupid to read or b) bigphatjohn made a mistake everybody is correcting except me (of course of linuxskills i haven't got)

so a big thanks! for every one trying to help me!
I'm not sure, but from the error message it looks like you've uncommented something you shouldn't have in the pptpsetup script near line 234. I haven't tried setting this up since PR1.3 so I can't say for sure. I will go through the process myself soon and will see if anything else suggests itself.

Cheers,
Jan

Hi,

Recently i received an upgrade for my ppp package (most probably from devel repository) to version 2.4.5-2. The update went fine, but seems this package doesn't support "replacedefaultroute" parameter. The vpn is established, but without modifying the default route it is practically useless and doing it manually is also not really acceptable for me. At the end i went back to Fanoush' original version.
Anybody else has the same experience with this new package or do you know the new parameter, which does the same job? (Or simply shall i follow the generic rule "do not upgrade if it is working finel"? :-) )

Thanks to all for the very useful instructions and hints that have been posted in this thread and without which I'd never have got a working VPN.

I got the routing to work (to have all traffic go over the VPN) by:

1) creating the directory /etc/ppp/ip-up.d

2) creating a file in this directory with the content:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
route add default gw $PPP_REMOTE dev $PPP_IFACE
(Note that the filename must not have any extension or it won't be executed.)

3) chmod +x this file

That's it!

From tests of running the PPTP VPN over a gprs0 connection, the VPN connection doesn't seem reliable in that after a while it disconnects. It might be due to inactivity timers but then I would have thought the 'persist' option would automatically reconnect. For this reason, it looks like it's best to launch the vpn in a terminal window with
pppd call <tunnelname> logfd 2 nodetach debug dump
so that one can easily check if it's still up.

Update:

On Wifi it's rock solid, however to get the routing working (again to have all the traffic go over the VPN) you need to add another line to the script:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
route del default dev wlan0
route add default gw $PPP_REMOTE dev $PPP_IFACE

Update 2:

For some unknown reason my N900 decided to show 'missing image' when booting up after having run out of juice. A reflash of the system didn't help, a reflash of the eMMC did. Unfortunately this meant that I lost all the changed I had made including setting up a vpn connection. In this new attempt, the system behaved somewhat differently.

First, I could not get pptp to launch a scrip in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ I tried changing the permissions, made sure that the script name had only alphanumerical characters (plus hyphen and underscore). Nothing would do.

Eventually I found it would run a script at /etc/ppp/ip-up so I created one. Here are my two scripts:

/etc/ppp/ip-up
Code:
#!/bin/sh
run-parts --arg="$1" --arg="$2" --arg="$3" --arg="$4" --arg="$5" --arg="$6" /etc/ppp/ip-up.d
/etc/ppp/ip-up.d/000defaultroute
Code:
#!/bin/sh
echo [1:"$1"] [2:"$2"] [3:"$3"] [4:"$4"] [5:"$5"] [6:"$6"] >/etc/ppp/params-$1.log
PPP_IFACE="$1"
PPP_REMOTE="$5"
route >>/etc/ppp/params-$1.log
route del default
echo route del default >>/etc/ppp/params-$1.log
route add default gw $PPP_REMOTE dev $PPP_IFACE
echo route add default gw $PPP_REMOTE dev $PPP_IFACE >>/etc/ppp/params-$1.log
route >>/etc/ppp/params-$1.log
(this includes some unnecessary but useful debugging info.)

For some reason, the DNS didn't seem to work even though I do have usepeerdns as an option and the debug info displayed by the launch of the pppd call shows that pppd got the right DNS info from my vpn server. /etc/ppp/resolv.conf was set to this values. /etc/resolv.conf however had just one entry set to localhost. By changing resolv.conf to
Code:
nameserver 4.2.2.1
nameserver 4.2.2.2
At that point, it all worked! If you don't want to use nameservers that work on any network then you may need to change this file in ip-up and restore it in ip-down.

(Like the first time, the vpn connection is not stable when on 3G.)

Sorry to bump in but did someone achieve this using the Nokia N9 phone? I'm desperate for help... my thread here: Setting up L2TP/PPTP on the N9/Harmattan
