this is great tutorial and great site.
my best regards to the author(s).
we implement this with automated scripts on Ubuntu 10.10 works perfectly

just add iptables rules in /etc/rc.local file so they remain after reboot

Thanks a lot mate! You helped me overcome headaches with DNAT… there’s too many wrong ways to use it if you think it’s the same direction names as SNAT :/

* – will allocate your users an IP from your entire IP pool, if you run out of 1.1.1.1 the server will allocate IP addresses from the 2.2.2.x pool

Try and add this:
aaa pptpd 111 1.1.1.*
bbb pptpd 222 2.2.2.*

Not sure if it will work since I never needed this and I don’t have a live pptpd server available at this time for testing.

Dear Sir.

I hope you teach me, the problem as follows,
I made the vpn server by CentOS5.5.

The remoteip’s range of ” /etc/pptpd.conf ” is 2 different things.

1.1.1.1 1-125,2.2.2.2-125

And, ” /etc/ppp/chap-secrets ” ‘s range is as follows,

1.1.1.1-125 range: aaa pptpd 111 * (<<– In here, * 's mean is recive the ip of the 1.1.1.1-125 automatically)
2.2.2.2-125 range: bbb pptpd 222 2.2.2.2 (<<–Here is a problem. why I can't use * in here?)(I hope to can be to recive here the 2.2.2.2-125 's ip automatically)

Please teach me the answer.
Thank you very much. Best regards.
