    Zurd - 2014-08-12

    Using sstp-client version 1.0.9. Compiling went without any problem. I'm using the exact same example files and lines as the documentation state but it's not working.

    /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
    SSTP-TEST\MYUSERNAME sstp-test 'MYPASSWORD' *

    /etc/ppp/peers/sstp-test
    remotename sstp-test
    linkname sstp-test
    ipparam sstp-test
    pty "sstp-client --server MYSERVER --nolaunchpppd "
    name SSTP-TEST\MYUSERNAME
    plugin sstp-pppd-plugin.so
    sstp-sock /tmp/sstpc-uds-sock
    usepeerdns
    require-mppe
    refuse-eap
    noauth
    debug

    sudo pon sstp-test

    sudo plog

    ping MYSERVER
    ping: unknown host MYSERVER

    I can connect to it in Windows 7 just fine.

    sudo nano /etc/ppp/options
    add at the end:
    usepeerdns
    refuse-pap
    refuse-eap
    refuse-chap
    refuse-mschap
    require-mppe

    sudo sstpc --log-level 4 --save-server-route --log-stderr --user MYUSER --password MYPASSWORD MYSERVER

    Doing this above works, I connect to the SSTP server however it's still not working, I cannot ping anything on the other network I'm trying to connect.

    ifconfig shows:
    ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
    inet addr:192.168.15.185 P-t-P:192.168.15.180 Mask:255.255.255.255

    RX bytes:114 (114.0 B) TX bytes:126 (126.0 B)

    I can ping 192.168.15.180 but nothing else on the network.

    The log of sstpc shows:

      Hi,
      There's probably two things you want to check:
      1) The user you specify should be a user created specifically for SSTP with no console / login rights. Usually, the installation would create a user sstpc.
      2) Your route problem is likely due to the fact you are configured to use a split tunnel. You'll have to locate the if-up scripts and add specific routes to your remote network(s)

      Let me know if that works for you. The network-manager-sstp plugin accepts routes and does that part for you.
