Hi
I use Openvpn and it works great.
However sometimes I need to connect using built-in VPN mechanisms like L2TP or PPtP.

WIth L2TP I am stuck on host certificate - during installation its ask me for a certificate password - I followed instructions and there are screenshots wher U are asked for a host certificate password - but during host certificate export check box for password is not active

With PPTP I managed to connect and it worked, but only for a while.
Just after reboot I could connect and I was able to see in the loggers (pppd, pptpd, radiusd) whole communication with RADIUS and functionality was exectly as I expected, but after a while unfortunately pppd stopped sending requests to radius

Code:
11:43:12   Plugin radius.so loaded.
11:43:12    RADIUS plugin initialized.
11:43:12    pppd 2.4.3 started by root, uid 0
11:43:12    Using interface ppp10
11:43:12    Connect: ppp10 <--> /dev/pts/1
11:43:42    LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
11:43:42    Connection terminated.
11:43:42    Using interface ppp10
11:43:42    Connect: ppp10 <--> /dev/pts/1

Comment: during "good" scenario I had here MPPE stateless activated and then radius request, proper authorization, and stuff informing on IPs on both sides etc


Code:
11:43:42    tcflush failed: Bad file descriptor
11:43:42    Exit.


I saw several times fulvio stating that PPTP was not supported, but manual by vpn_rollercoaster show it can be done.

On the other way I can not get through this host certificate password thing

Anybody struggled with it?
Anybody can help?
