Re: ppp/peers/* files

I can't find a way to specify mppe-128 for either pptp or pppd in the

which don't work when I specify it in the file) seem to suggest that I
use either "mppe-128" or "require-mppe-128" for pppd, neither of which
work. Any suggestions?

As far as I know, pppd in FreeBSD does not support natively mppc and
needs patches. (Maybe this functionality provided by pptp.)

But MPD does! And it support it using in-kernel netgraph subsystem.
So, I suggest to install mpd and set it up to connect to your Windows
VPN server.

Your configs may look like this.

mpd.conf file:

default:
load pptp0

pptp0:
new -i ng0 pptp0 pptp0
set bundle enable compression
set bundle disable multilink
set bundle authname "your-username"
set bundle password "your-password"
set iface disable on-demand
set iface idle 0
set iface mtu 1460
set iface route default
set link yes acfcomp protocomp
set link disable pap
set link accept chap-md5 chap-msv1 chap-msv2 chap
set link enable no-orig-auth
set link mtu 1460
set link mru 1460
set link keep-alive 10 60
set ipcp yes vjcomp
set ipcp ranges 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
set ccp yes mppc
set ccp yes mpp-e40
set ccp yes mpp-e56
set ccp yes mpp-e128
set ccp yes mpp-stateless
set pptp peer <ip-of-your-vpn-server>
set pptp disable incoming
set pptp enable originate out-call
set pptp disable windowing
set pptp disable delayed-ack
open iface

mpd.links file:

pptp0:
set link type pptp


Also make shure you have loaded (or compiled in kernel):

ng_bpf.ko
netgraph.ko
ng_ether.ko
ng_iface.ko
ng_ksocket.ko
ng_mppc.ko
rc4.ko
ng_netflow.ko
ng_ppp.ko
ng_pptpgre.ko
ng_socket.ko
ng_tee.ko
ng_vjc.ko
ng_tty.ko
ng_async.ko

Hope this helps.
