Hi at all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm trying to setup VPN on my Laptop but I'm stuck. When I'm at the |
| 4 |
university I have to connect to their WLAN and then setting up a |
| 5 |
VPN-Connection. All packets should take the VPN-tunnel. Here's what I've |
| 6 |
got so far: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
1) W-LAN connection works and I get an ip, default route and DNS-Servers |
| 9 |
via dhcp |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
- eth1 is my WLAN-Device |
| 12 |
- ppp0 is my VPN-Device |
| 13 |
- vpn.bg.bib.de is the disired VPN-Server |
| 14 |
snippet of /etc/conf.d/net: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
modules="iproute2" |
| 17 |
modules_eth1="!iwconfig wpa_supplicant" |
| 18 |
wpa_supplicant_eth1="-Dwext" |
| 19 |
dhcp_eth1="nosendhost nonis nontp" |
| 20 |
config_eth1="dhcp" |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
pppd_ppp0=" |
| 23 |
defaultroute |
| 24 |
noauth |
| 25 |
persist |
| 26 |
call fhdw |
| 27 |
holdoff 10 |
| 28 |
mru 1460 |
| 29 |
mtu 1460 |
| 30 |
idle 600" |
| 31 |
link_ppp0="pty 'pptp vpn.bg.bib.de --nolaunchpppd'" |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
2) VPN Connection does work |
| 34 |
- pptpclient is installed |
| 35 |
- /etc/ppp/peers/fhdw with options usepeerdns and defaultroute |
| 36 |
- »/etc/init.d/net.ppp0 start« does start the vpn connection |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
BUT: |
| 39 |
1) |
| 40 |
After the tunnel is up, /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/40-dns.sh is supposed to |
| 41 |
replace the dhcp-nameservers with dns-servers behind the VPN-server |
| 42 |
stored in /etc/ppp/resolv.conf. Unfortunately |
| 43 |
the resolv.conf is immediatly altered a second time by baselayout or |
| 44 |
whatever is writing these »Generated by net-scripts for interface« |
| 45 |
lines and then I've no nameserver at all. I have to do a |
| 46 |
cat /etc/ppp/resolv.conf >> /etc/resolv.conf |
| 47 |
every time after the tunnel is up. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
2) |
| 50 |
After the tunnel is up I have two default routes. One for eth1 and one |
| 51 |
for ppp0. So I manually set up a hostroute for the vpn-server with the |
| 52 |
eth1 gateway and then delete the default route for eth1. After that the |
| 53 |
VPN-Server is reached through eth1 and all the rest through ppp0 |
| 54 |
Unfortunately the default route for eth1 appears again after a few |
| 55 |
minutes (I guess dhcpcd is to blame) and every connection breaks down |
| 56 |
until I delete the route again. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
So how do you set up a VPN correctly? Or is there is any documentation |
| 59 |
I've missed? |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
BTW: I'm using fluxbox and no networkmanager or stuff like that. |
