PPTP Server - No internet connection on clients

Postby guisacouto » Fri Jul 17, 2015 1:57 am

Hi,

I just upgraded from a rpi 1st gen to a rpi2.

I configured a pptpd as stated in the arch linux wiki and I can't seem to figure out why I have no internet connection. I can connect to the vpn but I cannot have internet access.
I had the same configuration on my laptop for test purposes and it works flawlessly but not on the rpi2!

It must be some other config I had already on the laptop, or some module that is already being loaded or something.. Can someone give me some help?

I did not configure the iptables part since I'm not using any iptables on the rpi (and neither on the laptop where I tested the same server configuration).

The clients can ping other hosts on the local network.

###############################################################################

# TAG: ppp
# Path to the pppd program, default '/usr/sbin/pppd' on Linux
#
#ppp /usr/sbin/pppd

# TAG: option
# Specifies the location of the PPP options file.
# By default PPP looks in '/etc/ppp/options'
#
option /etc/ppp/options.pptpd

# TAG: debug
# Turns on (more) debugging to syslog
#
#debug

# TAG: stimeout
# Specifies timeout (in seconds) on starting ctrl connection
#
# stimeout 10

# TAG: noipparam
# Suppress the passing of the client's IP address to PPP, which is
# done by default otherwise.
#
#noipparam

# TAG: logwtmp
# Use wtmp(5) to record client connections and disconnections.
#
logwtmp

# TAG: bcrelay <if>
# Turns on broadcast relay to clients from interface <if>
#
#bcrelay eth1

# TAG: delegate
# Delegates the allocation of client IP addresses to pppd.
#
# Without this option, which is the default, pptpd manages the list of
# IP addresses for clients and passes the next free address to pppd.
# With this option, pptpd does not pass an address, and so pppd may use
# radius or chap-secrets to allocate an address.
#
#delegate

# TAG: connections
# Limits the number of client connections that may be accepted.
#
# If pptpd is allocating IP addresses (e.g. delegate is not
# used) then the number of connections is also limited by the
# remoteip option. The default is 100.
#connections 100

# TAG: localip
# TAG: remoteip
# Specifies the local and remote IP address ranges.
#
# These options are ignored if delegate option is set.
#
# Any addresses work as long as the local machine takes care of the
# routing. But if you want to use MS-Windows networking, you should
# use IP addresses out of the LAN address space and use the proxyarp
# option in the pppd options file, or run bcrelay.
#
# You can specify single IP addresses seperated by commas or you can
# specify ranges, or both. For example:
#
# 192.168.0.234,192.168.0.245-249,192.168.0.254
#
# IMPORTANT RESTRICTIONS:
#
# 1. No spaces are permitted between commas or within addresses.
#
# 2. If you give more IP addresses than the value of connections,
# it will start at the beginning of the list and go until it
# gets connections IPs. Others will be ignored.
#
# 3. No shortcuts in ranges! ie. 234-8 does not mean 234 to 238,
# you must type 234-238 if you mean this.
#
# 4. If you give a single localIP, that's ok - all local IPs will
# be set to the given one. You MUST still give at least one remote
# IP for each simultaneous client.
#
# (Recommended)
localip 192.168.1.102
remoteip 192.168.1.200-230,192.168.1.245
# or
#localip 192.168.0.234-238,192.168.0.245
#remoteip 192.168.1.234-238,192.168.1.245

Well... it seems that sysctl isn't working as expected.

It reports net.ipv4.ip_forward has being 1 but when I checked directly at /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/forwarding it was 0.

After echoing 1 into the file directly it obviously started working.
