[whrss]

This post describes how you can enable PPTP VPN in a Virtual Machine inside a Hardware Node. Hereafter, we will be indicating Hardware Node as HN and Virtual Node as VE

Only the steps are mentioned below.

1. Make sure devel package of the OpenVZ kernel is installed in HN.

2. Make sure TUN/TAP is enabled for the VE and PPTP VPN is installed and running.

3. Load all the PPP modules in HN

HN#

modprobe tun

modprobe ppp-compress-18

modprobe ppp_mppe

modprobe ppp_deflate

modprobe ppp_async

modprobe pppoatm

modprobe ppp_generic

4. Stop the VE

# vzctl stop {VEID}

5. From HN, run the below commands:


HN#

# vzctl set {VEID} --features ppp:on --save

# vzctl start {VEID}

# vzctl set {VEID} --devices c:108:0:rw --save

# vzctl exec {VEID} mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0

# vzctl exec {VEID} chmod 600 /dev/ppp

6. Login to VE and see if the 'pppd' command works.

VE#

# /usr/sbin/pppd

If you see some garbage values, it means it is enabled correctly.

Here is another tutorial, with pictures and step-by-step configuration, using a script to setup pptp for the enduser.
It is for solusvm VPSes because has pictures from there. It also asumes the enduser can setup tun/tap ppp from there (not diabled on HN or in solusVM)
