Rasplex - VPN - PPTP not working

Dev Community Apps & Creations
1

Hi everybody

 

I am not able to connect my rasplex to my ubuntu PPTP server. The VPN server runs on a ubuntu 14.04 machine and is working with other clients but not with my raspberry/openelec.

I've tried several configurations of the vpn advanced settings but none of them worked. I am using rasplex Version: 0.5.1.

 

Does anyone know how to configure the rasplex client to get it working?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

 

PPTP-Server options:

refuse-pap
refuse-chap
refuse-mschap
require-mschap-v2
require-mppe-128

Rasplex-conf:

[global]
Name = xyz

[provider_pptp]

Type = pptp

Name = xyz

Host = host.ddns.net

PPTP.User = user

PPTP.Password = password

Domain = vpn

advanced = 1

PPTP.RequirMPPE128 = 1

PPTP.RequirMPPE = 1

Where you have:

PPTP.RequirMPPE128 = 1
PPTP.RequirMPPE = 1

Try 

PPPD.RequirMPPE128 = 1

PPPD.RequirMPPE = 1

Supposedly there is a bug when you select the advance features.  Instead of PPTP you need to use PPPD.  The PPTP for user and password is valid.

Give that a try.
