I'm using MPD4 to establish a PPTP VPN from my FreeBSD 6.2 server to some clients and I've started encountering some strange problems.

The connection goes well, everything functions accordingly but after a while (very random, can be 5 minutes, 1 hour, 8 hours) I loose connectivity (the clients' Windows icon show packet are being sent, but nothing is received). A tcpdump on the external interface shows no packets going out and the same for tcpdump on ng0 (although I'm not sure if it should display something here).

Tcpdump on ng0 interface should display traffic inside tunnel. It also may be interesting to look on internal interface as tcpdump is able to decode PPTP packets.

For what I've seen the ip address on the ng0 interface disappears.

This may be significant. Configure syslog for logging mpd messages, it should give you information about why IP disappeared. Probably it happened in result of some error. Also look to the messages logs, there may be something interesting.

Hello,


Sorry..my mistake...I typed ng0 (for the first and second connections) and didn't notice it.
Now I have different netgraph interfaces.
