PPPd and IPsec on Linux VPN - how to?
« on: October 22, 2006, 09:37:17 PM »
I can\'t get IPsec (for a VPN) to start on Linux because it doesn\'t recognize the interface, which should be PPP I believe, I have PPPd installed and my question is...

Does a ppp connection such as ppp0 or ppp1 start only if you have a modem line or ethernet connection?

Or, how do you start a ppp connection on Linux so a ppp# interface is active?

Thanks.

Try typing "man pppd" in shell to get the PPP Manual.

Also see here for PPP connection options
