How to set up and install a PPTP VPN on CentOS 8

Step 1: Install PPP

Installing PPTP completely depends on PPP and PPTPD packages. To do so, first, install the related package and then configure it to initiate configuration. Use the following commands one by one:

yum install ppp iptables nano
cd /usr/local/src

For 64-bit OS:

wget http://poptop.sourceforge.net/yum/stable/packages/pptpd-1.4.0-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

rpm -Uhv pptpd-1.4.0-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

yum remove  ppp-2.4.9-5.el9.x86_64

wget https://poptop.sourceforge.net/yum/stable/packages/ppp-2.4.5-33.0.fc12.x86_64.rpm

rpm -Uhv ppp-2.4.5-33.0.fc12.x86_64.rpm

wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/9/Everything/x86_64/Packages/t/tcp_wrappers-libs-7.6-97.el9.x86_64.rpm

rpm -Uhv tcp_wrappers-libs-7.6-97.el9.x86_64.rpm

For 32-bit OS:

wget http://poptop.sourceforge.net/yum/stable/packages/pptpd-1.4.0-1.el6.i686.rpm

rpm -Uhv pptpd-1.4.0-1.el6.i686.rpm

Step 2: Configure and Setup your PPTPD

Edit IP settings in: /etc/pptpd.conf as shown in the following:

nano /etc/pptpd.conf

Edit the following settings to /etc/ppp/options.pptpd:

vi /etc/ppp/options.pptpd

ms-dns 8.8.8.8

ms-dns 4.4.4.4

As you can see, this code will add a DNS server to your VPN server. You can add the DNS servers provided by your internet provider or use Google DNSserver and insert them in the file.

Step 3: Create a user to access the VPN server

Add user account in/etc/ppp/chap-secrets (assign username and password) like the following:

nano /etc/ppp/chap-secrets

Step 4: Enable IP/network forwarding

We need IP forwarding to help VPN route packets between the VPN clients and the outside world. Therefore, the VPN server will become a router:

sudo vi /etc/sysctl.conf

Now, add the following line:

vi /etc/sysctl.conf

net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

To make the changes to sysctl.conf take effect, use the following command:

sysctl -p

After running this code, you must save and close the file. Then apply the changes with the following command:

sudo sysctl -p

this command will reserve our setting between system reboots.

重启服务器。

Step 5: Setup ”iptables”

Now, you need to add the following IP-tables rules in order to open the correct ports and properly forward the data packets:

iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 1723 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p gre -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

Step 6:Start VPN server

service pptpd restart

可能会用到的命令：

yum remove  ppp-2.4.9-5.el9.x86_64
wget https://poptop.sourceforge.net/yum/stable/packages/ppp-2.4.5-33.0.fc12.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uhv ppp-2.4.5-33.0.fc12.x86_64.rpm
wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/9/Everything/x86_64/Packages/t/tcp_wrappers-libs-7.6-97.el9.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uhv tcp_wrappers-libs-7.6-97.el9.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uhv pptpd-1.4.0-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

 最后，恭祝各位使用愉快！
