Comment on Using a Point-to-Point Tunnelling Protocol, Virtual Private Network (PPTP VPN) client on a Raspberry Pi by gauss4

Thanks for the quick response Ben. Unfortunately I really cannot see what could be wrong with my settings. After entering my server configuration and running route -n I get the following:

sudo pptpsetup –create piaUKLon –server uk-london.privateinternetaccess.com –username *** –password *** –encrypt –start

Using interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 /dev/pts/1
CHAP authentication succeeded
MPPE 128-bit stateless compression enabled
local IP address 10.1.1.11
remote IP address 10.1.1.1

route -n

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
10.1.1.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
126.187.18.14 192.168.0.254 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0

Then the re-route to tunnel command:

sudo route add -net “0.0.0.0/0″ dev “ppp0″

and route -n again:

route -n

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0

192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0

(Where I have changed some of the numbers for security reasons)

Can you see anything that might be wrong?

Ah yes, I almost forgot. I connect to my Pi through LAN on my desktop PC through SSH. Could this be a problem? And if I did get the tunnel to work could I still connect to the Pi through the LAN in the usual way?

Once again any input would be much appreciated.

Thanks
