I setup the pptpd VPN and it works well for viewing the Samba shares on the ubuntu machine serving as the VPN server. But I cannot see other shares on the network. I assume I need to setup some sort of masq but my attempts have failed. This only serves as a home server and not a router. I forward ports as necessary. The home network's router serves DHCP for 192.168.1.100-150. The home server has a static IP of 192.168.1.49. From various reading, I decided to setup the VPN on 192.168.0.0/24 network. This is my current /etc/pptp.conf: Code: ############################################################################### # $Id$ # # Sample Poptop configuration file /etc/pptpd.conf # # Changes are effective when pptpd is restarted. ############################################################################### # TAG: ppp # Path to the pppd program, default '/usr/sbin/pppd' on Linux # #ppp /usr/sbin/pppd # TAG: option # Specifies the location of the PPP options file. # By default PPP looks in '/etc/ppp/options' # option /etc/ppp/pptpd-options # TAG: debug # Turns on (more) debugging to syslog # #debug # TAG: stimeout # Specifies timeout (in seconds) on starting ctrl connection # # stimeout 10 # TAG: noipparam # Suppress the passing of the client's IP address to PPP, which is # done by default otherwise. # # noipparam # TAG: logwtmp # Use wtmp(5) to record client connections and disconnections. # logwtmp # TAG: bcrelay <if> # Turns on broadcast relay to clients from interface <if> # bcrelay eth0 # TAG: localip # TAG: remoteip # Specifies the local and remote IP address ranges. # # Any addresses work as long as the local machine takes care of the # routing. But if you want to use MS-Windows networking, you should # use IP addresses out of the LAN address space and use the proxyarp # option in the pppd options file, or run bcrelay. # # You can specify single IP addresses seperated by commas or you can # specify ranges, or both. For example: # # 192.168.0.234,192.168.0.245-249,192.168.0.254 # # IMPORTANT RESTRICTIONS: # # 1. No spaces are permitted between commas or within addresses. # # 2. If you give more IP addresses than MAX_CONNECTIONS, it will # start at the beginning of the list and go until it gets # MAX_CONNECTIONS IPs. Others will be ignored. # # 3. No shortcuts in ranges! ie. 234-8 does not mean 234 to 238, # you must type 234-238 if you mean this. # # 4. If you give a single localIP, that's ok - all local IPs will # be set to the given one. You MUST still give at least one remote # IP for each simultaneous client. # # (Recommended) localip 192.168.1.49 remoteip 192.168.0.1-255 # or #localip 192.168.0.234-238,192.168.0.245 #remoteip 192.168.1.234-238,192.168.1.245 This is my current /etc/ppp/pptp-options file: Code: ############################################################################### # $Id$ # # Sample Poptop PPP options file /etc/ppp/pptpd-options # Options used by PPP when a connection arrives from a client. # This file is pointed to by /etc/pptpd.conf option keyword. # Changes are effective on the next connection.

As # packaged, it requires PPP 2.4.2 and the kernel MPPE module. ############################################################################### # Authentication # Name of the local system for authentication purposes # (must match the second field in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets entries) name pptpd # Optional: domain name to use for authentication # domain mydomain.net # Strip the domain prefix from the username before authentication. # (applies if you use pppd with chapms-strip-domain patch) #chapms-strip-domain # Encryption # Debian: on systems with a kernel built with the package # kernel-patch-mppe >= 2.4.2 and using ppp >= 2.4.2, ... # {{{ refuse-pap refuse-chap refuse-mschap # Require the peer to authenticate itself using MS-CHAPv2 [Microsoft # Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol, Version 2] authentication. require-mschap-v2 # Require MPPE 128-bit encryption # (note that MPPE requires the use of MSCHAP-V2 during authentication) require-mppe-128 # }}} # Network and Routing # If pppd is acting as a server for Microsoft Windows clients, this # option allows pppd to supply one or two DNS (Domain Name Server) # addresses to the clients.

I'd like to finish writing a HOWTO for a complete Ubuntu home server for those of us in pains from the cancellation of FreeNAS Legacy. This is one of the last pieces...
