 pptp server Hello, I've got an OpenBSD 4.2 box that i'd like to set up pptp on. I've heard of mpd version 4 i believe but it requires netgraph and i didn't see a port or package for it. I've heard of ipsec, but was informed that was exceedingly difficult to set up. Does anyone know a pptp server for OpenBSD or if mpd would work if compiled from source? Thanks. Dave.      |

There is a pptp server called poptop, which you can use. But you will be much better setting up IPSec, or if you still think IPSec is a scary beast you should aware, there is OpenVPN which I could also recommend. -- With best regards, Gregory Edigarov |

[Sorry for the late reply, I'm slowly catching up.] IPSec is really only complicated if it involves non-OpenBSD hosts. (That is not entirely true, but setting up IPsec on OpenBSD is very, very easy.) pptp is not secure; I've heard poptop (which is in ports) does work, though. You've already been pointed to OpenVPN, which is a good solution if you have many different clients - it's comparable to IPsec, but a *lot* easier to set up than the average IPsec implementation. (Again, OpenBSDs is an exception - it's even *easier* than OpenVPN.) I'd prefer IPsec if only OpenBSD hosts were involved; I'd also prefer IPsec if I controlled both sides of the tunnel and could spend some time tinkering to get it right; but I'd prefer OpenVPN if many hosts not under my control need to connect to a specific host.
