For this instructions we assume your virtual server has IP: 83.170.XXX.XXX (replace with the real IP everywhere).
Then login via SSH as root
ssh Following these commands and instructions, update Ubuntu:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install pptpdEdit the file /etc/pptpd.conf and add:
localip 192.168.0.1
remoteip 192.168.0.2-254Insert the name servers in /etc/ppp/pptpd-options:
ms-dns 8.8.8.8
ms-dns 8.8.4.4Create two test users in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
user1 pptpd password1 *
user2 pptpd password2 *Setup routing for VPN server in /etc/sysctl.conf:
net.ipv4.ip_forward=1Now edit /etc/rc.local (insert before exit 0 and replace 83.XXX.XXX.XXX with your VPS IP number):
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/24 ! -d 192.168.0.0/24 -j SNAT --to-source 83.XXX.XXX.XXXRestart and we are done.
shutdown -r nowNow you can log in with VPN over PPTP with either of the credentials you created before:
- user1/password1
- user2/password2
