VPN Relakks on IBEX

[andy17]

Hi guys,

I've been trying to get RELAKKS VPN working on the new Network Manager GUI but couldn't...

anyway it worked on Hardy!

any suggestions???

I have similar problem, any solution?

Exactly the same problem here. Had it working in Hardy, but won't work in Intrepid. A solution would be hugely appreciated :)

Hi!

I had the same problem but managed to solve it after some googling on the error messages from /var/log/daemon.log.

I added the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/network-manager/ubuntu intrepid main

And ran apt-get update followed by apt-get upgrade.

Actually id didn't work on the first try, but on the second try. Don't give up if it doesn't work the first time and check daemon.log. You can run tail -f /var/log/daemon.log to follow what is happening.

Now it's working :)

What i did:
added


deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/network-manager/ubuntu intrepid main #network-manger

To the end of /etc/apt/sources.list

Then:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install network-manager-pptp

Then I connection to the vpn in the connection manager. I did also disable all authentication methods except of MSCHAPv2..

Anyone now how to automaticaly reconnect? Relakks disconnects sometimes, and i want it to reconnect and never use the connection without VPN.

Could you share your configuration, please?

I would also like to know how to set up Network manager to automatically reconnect the VPN, and only allow traffic when the VPN is active.
I don't know what you'd need to know about my configuration. I'm running 8.10 with Relakks as my VPN, if that helps.
Any ideas anyone?
