Arch PPTP VPN


I just installed Arch last month. I used mostly Debian prior and RHEL/CentOS at work. Since moving to Arch I have been unable to configure it as a VPN client to a Windows PPTP server running Win2008-SP2. I tried a couple of the online how-to docs, but they were not very current and failed to work.

Has anyone a pointer to a current or new page or document on setting this up?

Have you tried the *cough* wiki? *cough* There is also the Arch forums where you'll find a lot of real Arch users like you and I (not people pulling rabbits off their ...).

Solved

I followed and found one that was less than 5 months old, and that worked.

Thank you VERY much for the links!
