I use the exact same startup script as specified above (changing my router IP to the correct value of 10.0.0.1) Mon Aug 7 22:52:51 2006 : PPTP connecting to server 'SERVER NAME' (IP). The folowing is my /var/log/ppp.log from a sucessful then disconnected connection. I have connected as the router user account and as an account that I specified in the CHAP-Secrets field. but the VPN connection only and always lasts for 20 seconds. Disable Send all traffic over VPN connection and hit OK.Ĥ) Click the Connect button and enjoy your VPN. For Account Name and Password, you can use any of the accounts specified earlier, or the root username/password that is used to login to the router.ģ) In the Connect menu, select Options. Pick PPTP and click Continue.Ģ) Under Server address, enter the WAN IP or hostname of your router. In the File menu, select New VPN Connection. The router is configured, let's setup the VPN connection in OS X.ġ) Open Internet Connect. Make sure to replace "192.168.1.1" with your the LAN IP of your router, if it's different. In the Commands text area, paste the following script:Įcho 'name *' > /tmp/pptpd/options.pptpdĮcho 'proxyarp' > /tmp/pptpd/options.pptpdĮcho 'ipcp-accept-local' > /tmp/pptpd/options.pptpdĮcho 'ipcp-accept-remote' > /tmp/pptpd/options.pptpdĮcho 'lcp-echo-failure 3' > /tmp/pptpd/options.pptpdĮcho 'lcp-echo-interval 5' > /tmp/pptpd/options.pptpdĮcho 'deflate 0' > /tmp/pptpd/options.pptpdĮcho '-mschap' > /tmp/pptpd/options.pptpdĮcho '+mschap-v2' > /tmp/pptpd/options.pptpdĮcho 'mppe required' > /tmp/pptpd/options.pptpd #this line forces encryption and fixes OS XĮcho 'mppe stateless' > /tmp/pptpd/options.pptpdĮcho 'ms-ignore-domain' > /tmp/pptpd/options.pptpdĮcho 'chap-secrets /tmp/pptpd/chap-secrets' > /tmp/pptpd/options.pptpdĮcho 'ip-up-script /tmp/pptpd/ip-up' > /tmp/pptpd/options.pptpdĮcho 'ip-down-script /tmp/pptpd/ip-down' > /tmp/pptpd/options.pptpdĮcho 'ms-dns 192.168.1.1' > /tmp/pptpd/options.pptpd #enter your router's ip hereĮcho 'mtu 1450' > /tmp/pptpd/options.pptpdĮcho 'mru 1450' > /tmp/pptpd/options.pptpd However, we need to create a startup script to overwrite one of the PPTP config files.ģ) Click on Administration, Diagnostics. In the CHAP-Secrets section, enter a list of username/password combinations in the following file format:Īlso, note that the root username/password is also allowed to connect via PPTP. In the Client IP(s) section, enter a range of one or more IP addresses that do not overlap with the DHCP address range. In the PPTP section, enter the LAN address of your router (probably 192.168.1.1). Now that we have enabled the PPTP server, we must configure it.ģ) Click on Administration, Services.

The complete steps follow.ġ) Install the most recent version of the dd-wrt firmware for your router.Ģ) Click on Administration, Services. The easiest way to do this is to create a startup script that overwrites the default PPTP config. Instead of disabling encryption altogether, we need to change DD-WRT's PPTP config to force encryption. The problem is that OS X's pppd will fail on encryption negotiation unless the server requires encryption. DD-WRT's default PPTP config enables encryption but does not force it.

Sat Jun 10 02:43:15 2006 : Refusing MPPE stateful mode offered by peer The problem is that OS X's pppd gets confused about MPPE encryption and fails to properly start negotiate the encryption:
#Connect to dd wrt vpn server mac mac os x
We used Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.6 and a Linksys WRT54GL running DD-WRT v23 SP1, but these steps should work with any router running DD-WRT.įollowing the guides we've found will result in Internet Connect aborting with the error, "Could not negotiate a connection with the remote PPP server". So we couldn't find any documentation on getting a Mac OS X VPN client to connect to our Linksys router using PPTP, so we thought we'd post a short guide.
