16.1 Legacy Series / Re: opnsense as pptp client to create tunnel

« on: April 27, 2016, 05:30:45 pm »

Hi Franco,

Still having problems getting this connect. Here is what I've done:

Just a bit of info: We have two interfaces on our opnsense box. The pptp link is just so we act as a client to access multiple devices on the other network only.

bge0 = LAN (10.20.40.x)
bge1 = WAN - Static IP connection (external static IP)

1. I've created a Point-to-Point device. Link type PPTP. Link Interface I'm not sure what to select. user/pass filled in. Local IP I've put as the IP I've been assigned by the pptp server admin (10.0.0.48). Gateway as server address I use to connect. (This info all works fine as a single win 7 client)

2. Interfaces -> Assignments -> Created the new interface by selecting pptp0 (the newly created ptp device)

3. Interfaces -> [OPT1] -> Enable interface. This shows all the correct info I entered creating the pptp device originally. -> Save

4. If I go to Interfaces -> Overview -> OPT1 interface (opt1, pptp0) it just shows status as down, PPTP down. The connect button does nothing. I can't find any logs to see what is failing at this point. Interfaces -> Point-to-Point -> Log File just shows "File /var/log/ppps.log yielded no results."

16.1 Legacy Series / opnsense as pptp client to create tunnel

« on: April 27, 2016, 04:08:21 pm »

I know pptp is insecure but we have no option and it's not an issue for me anyway.

I'm looking to use opnsense to create a pptp tunnel using opnsense as the pptp client. I can't seem to figure out what I need to do to get this setup. Is it possible this way. If not can someone suggest another way to create a pptp tunnel.
