Hi group,
I need to configure a VPN on my Linux server that accepts connections from laptops with dynamic IPs. I was thinking about configuring PPTP on my server to receive VPN connections from Windows machines. Configuring VPN connections on Windows machines is very straightforward, but I'm a little bit confused about PPP/PPTP configuration on Linux server. I've got a cable connection on my server and I don't know if I can put PPP working with this kind of connection. Can I? Another question: If not, can I configure PPTP without PPP? I've read a papper about configuring PPTP and I think I can handle it, but it always make reference to PPP. Is it realy necessary? I would like to hear your comments. Thanks in advance, Nuno Paquete |
