VPN connection

Hi guys,

Yesterday my Raspberry Pi was delivered, very happy with it so far!

I am currently trying to set up a PPTP VPN connection to BTGuard.

I have everything set up, using this guide: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-con ... lient.html.

But when I check the connection log it shows this error:

Code: Select all

root@raspberrypi:~# tail -f /var/log/messages

Jun 28 16:17:13 raspberrypi pppd[1852]: Connection terminated.
Jun 28 16:17:13 raspberrypi pppd[1852]: Exit.

So, I suppose the kernel is not compatible.
Any way to solve this?

Kind Regards,

Got the same problem.

Anyone?

It's working. I updated firmware with rpi-update and rebooted.
Now it gives me:

Kernel is now

How do you get BTGuard to work, I am either doing something really silly or it is complicated.

I have tried connecting through the network manager, but it says a connection has never been made. I have also tried downloading OpenVPN but I can't get into the configure file.

How did you guys do it?

Thanks

In that guide from the first post I get to

# vi /etc/ppp/chap-secrets

But after that I can't type anything in the file and I have no idea what append means!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

vi has two modes, insert and command mode, you need to press i to get into insert mode.

You're better off replacing vi with nano whenever you see it in an example as nano will work as you expect for a text editor

Thanks
I can get into the file and change it now. But I still have no idea what append means.

I messed up editing the file and then appended it with 'M-A' it said 'save as a different file name?' if I said no it wouldn't save it so I said yes and now I want to change it but can't find the file.

Can I reinstall the files? And start again.
