Configuring Witopia VPN for PPTP?


Is anyone out there using Witopia VPN in a PPTP configuration? (www.witopia.net) Their Wiki gives instructions for Linux users to purchase a Mac license and to use PPTP when booting to Windows. At the time, I was having problems getting WiFi workking with Hardy and I was getting ready to go on a trip, so I bought a Windows license so I could boot to Vista to check my mail.

I have since gotten the WiFi working. Each Witpoia license (Mac or Windows) also comes with a PPTP license, so I would like to see if I can get the VPN interface working through a PPTP port. Has anyone done this?

Thanks,
Ed

You need to start by getting the pptp client for linux, then basically configure it witht he setting that they instruct you to use for windows. It shouldn't be that hard, you will just have to edit the config files with the proper settings, and of course the pptp client documentation will tell you how to add the config information.
