= How to set up Gaming VPN using PPTPD =
TODO.

Working:
 * TCP/IP

Current problem(s):
 * Only one IPX connection is accepted
 * Sometimes you must reconnect because pptpd/pppd gets into somekind of loop

== Server, Linux ==
Packing and authentication (except plain text) is not used because it eats bandwidth.

{{{
apt-get install pptpd ipx ipxripd
}}}

=== File: /etc/ppp/options ===
File contains only these lines:

{{{

#debug
}}}

=== File: /etc/ppp/pptpd-options ===
File contains only these lines:

{{{

=== File: /etc/pptpd.conf ===
File contains only these lines:

{{{

localip 172.20.0.1
remoteip 172.20.0.2-254
# 'listen' is not required necessary
#listen 44.33.22.11
}}}

=== iptables ===
Run this:
{{{
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr
}}}

=== File: /etc/ppp/chap-secrets ===
Add all VPN users to this file

{{{
# client server password IP
# separated with tab
raspi pptpd awvb46bw7n "*"
testuser pptpd fgf4wty475 1.2.3.4
}}}

=== Debugging ===
 * /var/log/syslog
 * /proc/net/ipx/interface
 * /proc/net/ipx/route
 * /proc/net/ipx/socket
 * ifconfig

Services:
 * /etc/init.d/pptpd <start|stop|restart>
 * /etc/init.d/ppp <start|stop|restart>

== Client, Windows XP ==
 * Install IPX
 * Create VPN connection

=== VPN Settings (Windows) ===
Custom settings, check only PAP
