PPTP VPN connecting issue
by horizn from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5QN1P)
I got into weird issue with PPTP VPN. For some reason the same configuration works fine (I am able to connect) on Ubuntu 20.04 but it doesn't work in Debian 10 or 11. On Debian in the logs I am getting:
Code:Oct 12 17:44:51 x pppd[567]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/1
