Hotspot Shield with Ubuntu

[garmo]

I followed this instructions for using hotspot shield in ubuntu http://markusthielmann.com/blog/hotspot_shield_ubuntu
but I don't know how to use this.
I get this log message:
Feb 19 14:31:42 garmo-desktop pppd[23594]: pppd 2.4.4 started by root, uid 0
Feb 19 14:31:42 garmo-desktop pppd[23594]: Using interface ppp0

and that happens every time, could someone help with this or know what this means?

Is there something wrong with my post?
does it need more info or am I asking in the wrong place?

I having a similar result, although the problem seams to be different.

Here is my xl2tpd -D output:

Also after the vpn activation my routing table contains two default routes:

default * 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0
default FDSNET_RISTOW.v 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1

Thanks.

After running the same procedure I got this: SIOCADDRT: No such device after line:

route add -net 0.0.0.0 dev ppp0


any idea? I'm completely new in linux...

thanks all!

I found some info and I quote from this website: http://www.kalvster.com/tools/vpn-ub...ot-shield.html

So it appears they are filtering non-iPhone connections and so using this method is not possible.

My other options now are:

Using virtualization software
Connecting through a server that has HotSpot Shield already set up.

I have been trying as well to set up HotSpot Shield in my Ubuntu, but with no success...

=/

Ps: I found in some websites that people were recommending to use ultrasurf because it might work w/ ubuntu... here is a link to a tutorial: http://jaxov.com/2009/09/how-to-unbl...trasurf-linux/

Any luck with getting this going? Not being able to connect to l2tp vpn's is a serious hinderance to using ubuntu in countries that block internet access..
