VPN not working

Post#1 by **lukaluki** » 10 Mar 2018, 12:15

I am using Porteus 3.2 on KDE. (Kde Plasma 5.8.4 , Kernel 4.9.0)

When I try to connect to a simple PPTP vpn connection, providing the gateway, user and pw, it is showing an error:

VPN connection 'new vpn' failed. The service providing the VPN connection was stopped.

How can I check what is going on? Any ideas why simple pptp doesnt work ?

Hi lukaluki.
Look at this post.

For what I see 'mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0' should do the job, but it still is showing the same error after starting the connection for about 2 seconds.

lukaluki, can you show log of these commands:

Code: Select all

su
toor
/usr/sbin/pppd

toor: command not found
/usr/sbin/pppd is giving some strange output like ~?!}!} .. and so on.

lukaluki, do you try it in Porteus-v4.0rc4 is released! (Пост brokenman #62450) ?

@lukaluki: Did you edit /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf for your needs?

I allready wanted to try on 4.0rc4 but the double click mouse option was not available which makes me freak out when working with many files which I have to :/, also no way to change it in rc4 Why Double-click has been replaced by one-click ? (Post by jssouza #63275), therefore I wanted to wait till final release.

I will try VPN on 4.0rc4 later today though.

Normal VPN as also OpenVPN not working in Porteus 4.0 rc4 KDE for me. When pressing connect just nothing happens.
By now I am not able to use vpn with 3.2.2 as also 4.0rc4 :/

Using previos versions in the past have been a pleasure as vpn / openvpn had no problems, for now I am stuck

Just download the app or software and login with the given credential from provider, some times PPTP connection working not well
