I've created VPN server(PoPToP version 1.3.3) using webmin and all clients are connected successfully. I want to check "current active connections" from CLI(command line interface). what is the command to list all active connections.

have a problem with my network-manager in ubuntu 10.10.when I dial one of my vpn connections, my other vpn connections be disabled and I can't use them!I tried to restart network-manager and gnome-panel, but it does't seem to solve this problem.
View 1 Replies View RelatedJust moved over from the dark side (Vista) and was wondering how I can get two (or more) PPTP VPNs connected at any given time. I usually attempt to multi task (although swambo says I can't) and work on various clients' servers at the same time. The GUI network manager thingy only allows me to dial up one VPN at a time. Is there perhaps a cli version and if so where would I go to get a tutorial on this please. BTW, running F11 32bit. Tried Debian and Ubuntu as well and found F11 to blindingly fast on my DualCore Toshiba laptop. Pity I can't see the additional 1Gb of RAM though. (4Gb in total).

Made a standard pptp connection using network-manager (and the connection is 100% fine, working on laptop and on windoooz machine) This is syslog any ideas, i reinstalled network-manager-pptp and pptp-gnome, but no go no go..

On every machine that SSHes in, the connection gets dropped randomly between immediately, and 30 minutes into the session, while the user is actively using the remote system (typing, etc). Before, during and after the disconnection, the system responds to pings regularly (0% packet loss).It takes about 5-10 minutes before I can make an SSH connection again.I have tried restarting SSH on the server and rebooting the server. I even removed and reinstalled sshd and it is still happening.What might be causing these random disconnects and how might I solve this?

i have a VPN server PPTPD on Centos 5.3
eth0: 62.2.2.x (public on the internet)
GW: 62.2.2.1 (cisco router)
i want to configure my ppptp server to allow users access internet with their own public ips of class 62.2.3.0 62.2.4.0 62.2.5.0
every time i configure my server all users can get thier IPs but they only go out with my server IP same as NAT not routing.
can you show me the proper configuration to make my users connect with public IP and have internet access. use specific DNS ( i did this but some users can not brows by DNS)
is there any way to specify an expired date for each pptp user.
I'm trying to connect to a Microsoft ISA PPTP server from my Linux box. The box I'm connecting from is itself a router. I have no problem connecting a Windows XP machine to the VPN via this machine. This is fine, but I would rather connect via the Linux machine, giving me far more advanced routing options (i.e. no to send every packet from the XP box completely unnecessarily via the PPTP tunnel). The Linux router is running Debian Lenny.
I've checked iptables. There were initially some issues. I've fixed those.
Invoking pppd from the console, I can see that authentication succeeds, but then some negotiation goes wrong and the server terminates the connection. Here's the output from pppd, with the more sensitive stuff removed:
Code:
<hostname>:~# pppd call <peer> nodetach debug

Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/2

I am programming on Linux middleware so I need to get a list of all active TCP connections. Is there any API to get such information? I know I can find the connections in /proc/net/tcp, but how to find the PIDs? Apparently ps or netstat command is not an option since it is a middleware.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am running Firestarter on Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit. I have noticed several times that after closing all web apps (Firefox, Thunderbird) that some entries remain under the heading "Active connections" on the Firestarter "Status" tab. Often these show no source program. Currently I have 2 showing which show Firefox as the source. These persist after Firefox is shut down. I have verified that no Firfox process is running. And both of the IPs point to google.I have Disconnected eht0 and they still show. I have logged out and back in and they still show. I must reboot the machine to make these entries go away. Which makes me think perhaps this is a bug in Firestarter(?) Is there another way I can identify truly active connections?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy Debian server is used by people to set up ssh-tunnels for use as a local proxy ( on their remote machines).Since only the tunnel is setup, and no shell is used, I can't use "who" to see which users have an active ssh-tunnel on my server, but I would like to have an idea about who is active etc. I think I should be able to determine this from the auth.log file, but then I would have to use some script to determine what connection is still active. Is there an easy way to see what users have active ssh-tunnels on my Debian server at any given moment?

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis questions is a little complex but here goes.at a central HQ I have a windows server 2008 R2 machine running routing and remote access. At my home office i have a class C lan with a Fedora 13 machine. I can get fedora 13 to connect using pptp no problem. I have my router running tomato set to redirect all traffic to teh 10.0.0.0 network to my linux server. My questions is how to I make the fedora 13 machine pass all the traffic from my network with destination 10.0.0.0 over the vpn tunnel? so for instance if i ping anything 10.x.x.x from any machine on my network it will find it and reply?

I am having trouble connecting back to my vpn at work while I'm at home. Mainly need to get our local svn repos for at home development. I successfully connected to the vpn following this [URL]..I am running Lucid Lynx 64bit and I followed the 9.10 section of the tutorial on setting up PPTP connection.
It worked fine. Then I walked away from my computer and it was disconnected when I came back 2 hours later. I was unable to connect back to it. I used my laptop which is running windows 7 and it connected just fine. So, now I am unable to connect to it and have no idea why. I viewed my system log and don't know what to do with the information. Could someone help me out on this.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a question regarding the use of iptables as sort of a firewall I suppose? Using a linux router which has a server machine connected to it. The router is also acting as a PPTP VPN server, which I would like to allow some friends to connect to so that they can VPN to my LAN.
The question I have is how I might be able to use iptables to apply restrictions to the VPN traffic to only access 1 IP? The server is on the LAN with an IP of lets say 192.168.1.25, and the VPN given IP range is 192.168.1.51-55. The router has the .1 IP, but the PPTP server on that router uses an IP of 192.168.1.50. How might I restrict the traffic from the VPN connections to only be able to access the .25 server, and possibly only on certain ports? I don't want to allow the VPN connections full access to everything on the LAN and especially not to WAN.

I can't get the CentOS version of pptpd to work. I have a Debian 6 one with the exact same setup that does work. The required port is open according to various external port checking websites. It's giving me random errors when trying to connect, including 800, 809, 619. This is what I did so far;
Step 1. Installing pptpd the pptpd is the daemon that runs the pptp server.
To install this:
Step2. Next you will need to modify the pptpd.conf
Step 3. The vpn server is now configured and now you must setup authenticated users:
Step 4. When pptpd was installed it started automatically so we will need to restart it to apply the changes:
Now, if you would like to add internet access over this vpn, you can do this:
And find the line for ipv4 forwarding and make sure it = 1:
Then use iptables to get the net forwarded:

I assume the failed read line is the culprit. I am currently running on a test machine. There is no firewall. I read on this error points to a firewall misconfiguration, but there isn't one.

I've set up pptp as per the Debian Howto and it seems to be working, but I'm not actually acessing the net via the server.Not sure what info would be useful but here are route -n and ifconfig.Can anyone suggest what is wrong here, and how to test if the vpn link is actually working?
