I'm having a problem setting up PureVPN on a Raspberry Pi. I followed the PPTP instructions at the link https://support.purevpn.com/how-to-setup-purevpn-on-raspberry-pi. I created a file in /etc/ppp/peers named server.config and entered the recommended settings. For $VPNHOSTNAME, PureVPN doesn't provide IP addresses, so I used one of their DNS server addresses; vlus-af1.pointtoserver.com. When I enter pon server.config, I get the following error:/usr/sbin/ppdp: in file /etc/ppp/peers/server.config: 'vlus-af1.pointtoserver.com' I've tried replacing the VPNHOSTNAME with other servers without any success. I am a complete Linux NOOB, so there isn't much that I know how to do, and I haven't seen this exact error in google searches. Others seem to have difficulty with other options in their file (for other services, not PureVPN). I've checked in with PureVPN help. They gave me a few other servers to try then suggested that I try openvpn, but I have tried openvpn before without success. So, before I switch, I'd like to see if there is an easy fix for this error. Would this error be because pptp tried to connect to the server and failed, is the server name format wrong, should I be editing another file, or is this a problem with iptables that I can somehow fix? |
