== Summary ==

PPTP is a VPN protocol used on Windows workstations. For more information see Wikipedia page [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-Point_Tunneling_Protocol Wikipedia: PPTP]

This tutorial describe howto connect your WebOS device to private network... For example, it can be use for access to internal tracking systems from your phone.

== What you need before ==

* WebOS 1.4.1 with kernel 2.6.24-palm-joplin-3430
* [[Debian|Chrooted Debian]]
* Some experience with Linux

== Installation ==

All comands type in chrooted Debian environment.

* Install pptp daemon

<source lang="bash">
apt-get install ppp
apt-get install pptp-linux
</source>

* Write your client configuration to '''/etc/ppp/peers/myvpn''' (I use configuration generated by [http://home.gna.org/kvpnc/en/index.html kvpnc] application...)

For example:

<source lang="apache">
# name of tunnel, used to select lines in secrets files
remotename myvpn

# name of tunnel, used to name /var/run pid file
linkname myvpn

# name of tunnel, passed to ip-up scripts
ipparam myvpn

# data stream for pppd to use
pty "/usr/sbin/pptp --debug --loglevel 1 vpn.domain.com --nolaunchpppd"

# domain and username, used to select lines in secrets files
name "username"

# retrieve DNS from peer
usepeerdns

# use MPPE encryption
require-mppe
nomppe-stateful
require-mppe-128

# we do not require the peer to authenticate itself
noauth

# enable debug
debug

# we want to see what happen
nodetach

# lock the device
lock

# Use BSD compression
bsdcomp 9

# Use deflate method
deflate 9

# do not replace defaultroute
defaultroute
# userdefined MTU
mtu 1492

# userdefined MRU
mru 1492

# kernel level debug
kdebug 4
# refuse EAP
refuse-eap
</source>

* Download and unpack kernel modules and starting script

<source lang="bash">
wget http://www.karry.wz.cz/download/webos-vpnc.tar.gz
zcat webos-vpnc.tar.gz | tar -xf -
</source>

* Edit your user name, password and vpn route rules in script ./vpnc/vpn.sh

== Start VPN ==
* Run vpn.sh script...
<source lang="bash">
cd vpnc
./vpn.sh
</source>

== Warning! ==

Module ppp_mppe (Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption support) is experimental in version 2.6.24!
