In other OS's this takes around 10 seconds, but in FreeBSD this seems very difficult to do, and I've no idea why. It looks like there is a connection made, but after a minute or two it just disconnects and still unable to access the vpn. My ppp.conf is: EUR: set authname "xxxx@xxxx.xx" set authkey "xxxxxxx" set timeout 0 set ifaddr 0 0 add vpn-eur-pptp.eur.nl HISADDR disable ipv6cp The messages log says: Jun 2 22:12:16 yokozuna pptp[40950]: anon log[main:pptp.c:314]: The synchronous pptp option is NOT activated Jun 2 22:12:16 yokozuna pptp[40955]: anon log[ctrlp_rep:pptp_ctrl.c:251]: Sent control packet type is 1 'Start-Control-Connection-Request' Jun 2 22:12:16 yokozuna pptp[40955]: anon log[ctrlp_disp:pptp_ctrl.c:739]: Received Start Control Connection Reply Jun 2 22:12:16 yokozuna pptp[40955]: anon log[ctrlp_disp:pptp_ctrl.c:773]: Client connection established.

Has anyone here succeeded in setting up a working pptp vpn connection? Thanks in advance, Marco -- Kiss me twice. I'm schizophrenic.
