VPN server is a reliable solution for
us who need unlimited connections to the office where we work. VPN
server which I will discuss here is a VPN connection through the
Internet, through the tunnel (the tunnel) which will be made on the
Ubuntu 8.04 Server machine.
Ok, here are step-by-step to install it :
root@server:~# aptitude update
&& aptitude install pptpd
After
doing the above command, then ubuntu will download and install it, and when you finish, then
proceed to change the file /etc/pptpd.conf, stepnya following :
|
root@server:~# vim
/etc/pptpd.conf
localip 10.14.20.1
remoteip 10.14.20.200-220
Description:
localip: ip
address of the LAN gateway
remoteip: is the ip arrange to be provided to client
After doing the above
command, the next is that we must create a user account for PPTP
connections, the following steps :
root@server:~# vim /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
#
Secrets for authentication using CHAP
#
client
server
secret IP addresses
udiniq
pptpd 123456
10.14.20.0/24
geeks
pptpd
123456 10.14.20.0/24
charles
pptpd
123456 10.14.20.0/24
|
Description:
Client: is the name of the
user account (member) that will be used for VPN connections
Server: is the name of the
configuration server to be used in accordance with the contents of the
file /etc/ppp/ pptpd-options, and by default is pptpd
secret: a password that will be
used for a VPN connection each member
IP addresses: the ip address for
the user
Next
To create pptp client that can communicate with each other,
|
then it must be ip_forward
enabled server, the following steps :
root@server:~# vim
/etc/sysctl.conf
by pressing the letter i find writing #net.ipv4.conf.default.forwarding = 1 and remove
the fence that marks the net.ipv4.conf.default.forwarding
= 1
If the above steps have been done all please restart the pptpd
server:
root@server:~# /etc/init.d/pptpd restart
