TuX^ Posted June 28, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted June 28, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 If there is one for ubuntu, there is one that will work for BT5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laird_Dave Posted July 25, 2011 Share 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.
