HOWTO: PPtP VPN
This howto will list the steps necessary to set up a pptp server on a ReadyNAS Duo. PPtP makes a nice choice, because OSX natively supports connecting to PPtP VPNs. I think windows does also, but don'...
Ok, I've got the files that should go in /lib/modules/2.6.17.8ReadyNAS/kernel/ in folder drivers/net and crypto.
I've done installation (apt-get install pptpd) and edited files /etc/pptpd.conf /etc/ppp/chat-secrets
Doing modprobe ppp gives error: can't find module ppp
I'm temporarily solving this with (below is typed from memory, exact ordering or correct spelling is not guaranteed):
cd /lib/modules/2.6.17.8ReadyNAS/kernel/crypto && insmod sha1.ko && insmod arc4.ko
cd /lib/modules/2.6.17.8ReadyNAS/kernel/drivers/net && insmod slhc.ko && insmod ppp_generic.ko && insmod ppp_mppe.ko && insmod ppp_async.ko
Aftet that a test connection WORKS! I did a connection from a win XP computer running outside the firewall and using a different ip net (otherwise XP complains of loopback).
Though by unchecking use default gateway in IPv4 advanced settings on the XP box, the tunneling stops as well.
Next step now is to figure out how to get XP and pptp to tunnel only the stuff I want tunneled.
So basically working, but not done yet.
And if anyone needs the ppp*.ko files etc, look here (attachments, near the bottom): http://sites.google.com/site/chromiumdev/pptp
