Hello everybody,

After lots of pain, I've managed to get the VPN (Virtual Public Network) working with PPTP & MS-CHAPV2 (w/o MPPE).
After more severe pain, I've got the above to connect with MPPE. The problem is that it connects but there is absolutely no traffic flowing from either server or the client, as reported by TCPDUMP.

My config:

/etc/options-pptpd

name *
lock
mtu 1450
mru 1450
proxyarp
auth
ipcp-accept-local
ipcp-accept-remote
lcp-echo-failure 3
lcp-echo-interval 5
deflate 0

+mschap-v2
mppe required

If this question was asked before, then kindly link me to it. I would appreciate any help.

Thanks,
