First, I am aware of the limitations of PPTP. Unfortunately, I currently have no choice.
I currently use Softlayer for my production servers.
They provide a private network without any data limits for managing servers.
You access the private network through a VPN. The choices are IPsec, PPTP, and SSL.
They charge $99USD/month for IPsec, which I can't justify.
I have been using PPTP for years with my previous firewall with great success.
I just upgraded to OPNsense and have been unable to figure out how to set up OPNsense as a PPTP client.
So, the question is how do I set up OPNsense as a PPTP VPN client?
I'll be very happy to get a link to instructions or instructions in a reply.
TIA

No takers on this? :(

Hi there,
PPTP as a client only works for ISP access at this time. the PPTP plugin is server-only.
I'm not against extending the PPTP plugin (I don't care for the implications of security because it's a management risk like any other or irrelevant in some private network scopes), but I can only offer review and guidance for such a submissions.
Basically, what we need is a working config for mpd5 and we can extrapolate necessary adjustments from there.
Cheers,
Franco

Franco,
Thanks for the additional information.
When I contacted Softlayer, they informed me that PPTP is being retired soon, anyway.
So, time to give up on the PPTP VPN connection and find a new rack host.
Thanks again.
