Hi pptp-list.
I've just set up pptp with pppd and ip-chains and it seems to work great..
I couldn't make the ip-chains setup (i read in the howto) to work though.. So 
i'm not sure that my security is up to date..

My set up is:
pptp.conf:

localip 192.168.0.234-238
remoteip 192.168.1.234-238


pptp-clients              fw+pptp               local-net servers
192.168.1.234-238       192.168.0.1             192.168.0.2-233

my rc.firewall is:

/sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j MASQ

/sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQ

I'm not sure that this setup is secure enough.. i know it works.. because the 
clients can reach local servers and the internet ..
Anybody has any comments?
