Hi,

I have a dedicated headless server where I want to use VPN (PPTP through a Swedish provider named "Relakks").

I have read numerous posts who partly descibe the setup process. Some describe how you fix your existing setup after upgrading to 8.10 from 8.04, some descriptions are for older versions.

Is there some kind soul who could tell me how to set this up from scratch on 8.10??

Thanks in advance.

I realize that this is a bit late, but I did manage to get my server to do PPTP on it using this website:

For me, the thing I don't like about it though is that the username and password list are in plain text. Not good IMO. I'm looking for an alternative though.
