PPTP for OpenVZ:
PPTP stands for Point-to-Point
Tunneling Protocol. It is a traditional dial up networking system which is using for
VPN (virtual private network). It supports many operating system without having
extra client like OpenVPN. Also it supports Android and iOS operating system.
In both cases, no client needed for setting up PPTP VPN.
How to setup:
You can setup PPTP on your OpenVZ VPS by using script
(very easy) or manually (moderate). For installing PPTP VPN by script, you need to follow
the step by step tutorial below.
1. At first, you should prepare your VPS for installing
PPTP. Execute the following command in SSH via PUTTY to check your VPS is ready or not.
cat /dev/ppp
if you see this message "cat: /dev/ppp: No such
device or address",
then you are ready to go.
If you
do not see this message then you have to turn on TUN/TAP and PPP module from your VPS control panel.
After that, follow the next steps.
2. Write
down or copy paste the following line to download the installation script on your server
wget
https://raw.github.com/cwaffles/ezpptp/master/ezpptp.sh
3. Set the
necessary permission for the script and execute the script to start the automatic
installation
chmod +x
ezpptp.sh && ./ezpptp.sh
During
installation, you will be prompted for setting username & password. You can
also set multiple usernames & passwords. After successfully setup, you have
to create new dial up connection in your machine to use PPTP VPN.
