 VPN using ppp+ssh question (ppp-2.3.5 does not support pty) I have WinXX boxes at home behind my OpenBSD gateway to DSL. I am trying to set up a "VPN" type connection from my work computer (RH Linux) and from my laptop when I am on the road to my home computer. I was trying to use "VPN PPP−SSH Mini−HOWTO" by Scott Bronson but on the OpenBSD side ppp (is version ppp−2.3.5 need ppp−2.3.11) does not support "pty" option and pppd does not support "notty" option. Is there a way to get a newer version of ppp/pppd on OpenBSD 3.3? Is there a better way to provide a sucure VPN using ssh? Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks, Bill      |

Did you try reading /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.sample? With the usermode 'ppp' (instead of pppd) See the 'loop-in' and 'sloop' stanzas. > > Any help would be appreciated!! Since you asked. 0) Unless it is part of your job to setup VPN connectivity, you'll probably be in violation of your terms of employment. Have you considered using the official VPN solution at your place of employment? 1) PPP over any TCP connection (including ssh) isn't neccesarily the brightest idea. 2) Current versions of openssh can do dynamic port forwarding ala SOCKS4 (See the -D <port> option) 3) If the corporate firewall passes UDP, consider trying OpenVPN. -- Chris Dukes "earthly insanity/brings us conformity the tinkling bells call me/it plays a leading role I never could foresee/the purity you stole" -- arte.fa(t's 'Purification' |
