pptp-based vpn I am trying to setup pptpd to initiate a connection to
ukvpn.ufreevpn.com and I have never seen this work before so I am
not sure what a working setup behaves like. It appears that it
takes a sort of grand tour in which it makes 7 or 8 attempts at
connecting but it ultimately gives up.
One should run the following command to test:
pon ufreevpn debug dump logfd 2 nodetach
pppd options in effect:
debug # (from command line)
nodetach # (from command line)
persist # (from /etc/ppp/peers/ufreevpn)
logfd 2 # (from command line)
dump # (from command line)
noauth # (from /etc/ppp/peers/ufreevpn)
remotename ukvpn.ufreevpn.com # (from /etc/ppp/peers/ufreevpn)

It repeats this routine through 7 more channels. What
does one see when it works?
Thank you.
