yes... like the one available in DDWRT VPN but I need the pptp only
thanks a lot... I have installed it and testing it right now
Doesn't work... The version is quite old... 1.2.x...
I got the following error messages when try to start pptpd
Aug 25 13:53:13 pppd[303]: pppd 2.4.2 started by admin, uid 0
Aug 25 13:53:13 pppd[303]: Using interface ppp0

Aug 25 13:53:26 pppd[303]: Exit.
Aug 25 13:55:35 pptpd[322]: MGR: PPP binary /opt/sbin/pppd not executable
finally got the service to start properly but windows pptp client still failed to connect...
It looks like the pppd can't locate the chap-secrets file from /opt/etc/ppp
Any idea? Any one managed to get this version working?

you have to create this file yourself.
this is the basic layout of the file:

My wl500w just died recently. I managed to fix it by replacing bad caps and broken power supply. Now I have finally updated to the 1.9.2.7-d-r1000 and still can't get this poptop server working. How do you compile it? Any clue?
I had some progress in the PPTP server setup. I was right about the chap-secret file. It was expected to locate in the /temp/ppp directory instead of /opt/etc/ppp. I added a copy command in the post-boot script to duplicate the file over to /temp/ppp. Now my windows machines can connect to the router with pptp vpn connection.
Here is my remaining problem:
I am not able to connect to ping any IPs in the LAN subnet. When connecting to the router through LAN ip, the router treated my windows machine as connected from the Wan IP. P.S. VPN connection got LAN IP and LAN Gateway IP correctly. How do I fix this???
Finally, I got the VPN Server configuration right... everything is working at least as good as DDWRT. If anyone is interested, I will share my steps to get it working. Cheer...
