Installing PPTP Client in Fedora 11

Date September 27, 2009

Usually, When i wanna connect to online servers for checking them or whatever, I ssh to my work PC then to them, unfortunately our main gateway is down today. So i tried another solution which is trying our work VPN connection, Network Manager didn't help me or maybe i didn't know how to configure it (i don't like it!), the other solution was PPTPConfig, i tried it before and it worked perfectly, To install it in Fedora just follow the following steps as root:
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -Uhv http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/yum/stable/fc11/pptp-release-current.noarch.rpm [root@localhost ~]# yum install pptpconfig
now just run pptpconfig as root and configure your VPN connection..

    Cool. That’s so awesome. Does this client work with Windows’ PPTP VPN server or L2TP?
