TuX^ Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Hi Guys, me again. I've just got BackTrack 5 installed as a secondary OS on my Laptop. (Windows 7 Pro is my first) Everything is set up and working great, can get on wireless without having to do anything. Just wondering if there is a PPTP VPN Client available. I installed PPTP-Linux via 'Apt-get install pptp-linux' but there doesn't seem to be much documentation or help on it. Any ideas would be great. Kind regards, TuX^ Quote
digip Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Not sure about built in functionality or preinstalled clients, but have a look at - http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ might help. Quote
Mr-Protocol Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 If there is one for ubuntu, there is one that will work for BT5 Quote
Laird_Dave Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 If you use the Gnome-WM you should have access to the packages "network-manager" "network-manager-gnome" and finally "network-manager-pptp" (not sure of this special one, though, try "apt-cache search network manager pptp") Be careful: If you switch your network manager from wicd to the gnome-nm you will have to redo some configuration and lose wicd. I personally prefer the gnome-built-in solution because it allows me to configure _every_ network connection. WiFi, ethernet, VPN, you name it. Hope this helps. Cheers D Quote
