sstp-client / Discussion / Help: MacOS X Lion: Can't get a connection

Nobody/Anonymous - 2012-05-21

I've been trying to get an SSTP connection set up and for some reason authentication goes alright, but the connection just gets dropped regardless, any ideas?

I execute the following command:
sudo sstpc -log-level 4 -cert-warn -password=PASSWORD -user=USER HOST

Below is the logs from this command:

Do you think you could send me the syslog output from /var/log/syslog, you will need to append "debug", "defaultroute", "usepeerdns" onto the command line for sstpc as well (all the way at the end).

How did you build this for OSX? I can't find ppp-dev anywhere.

I just went under the latest build here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sstp-client/files/sstp-client/

This is why I hate open source, can't find stuff and documentation is poor. I can't find out how to run it. Luckily I can go off of some thing on this forum thread for some commands.
