Hi, When I try to set MPPE encryption on poptop and on the windows client, I cannot connect and have this error in my logs: MPPE required, but kernel has no support. I tried with 2.4 and 2.6 but no success. In forum search I read that MPPE was available in linode UML. Anyone connect his/her linode with MPPE encryption on? Thanks in advance, Emin |

I tried and failed a while back. I don't know why it doesn't work, though - maybe it needs to be a module? If that's so, that won't fly in a UML environment, due to the security risks. I was able to set up an unencrypted PPTP session, but that's really of little practical use - so I use SSH port forwarding to tunnel services back to my local system, while using firewall rules to keep unauthorized users out. |

I'll make sure to include the MPPE patch in the 2.6 UML kernels from now on. Look for this in the next 2.6 Linode kernel release. Thanks, -Chris |

I dont think MPPE is already in place in 2.4 or 2.6 kernels. As this is the only thing keeping us from using ppp w/ windows. It works without encryption but I dont feel safe doing that. I want encryption. Any idea on when we might have this? Its been almost a month since the last post...when will you release the new kernel? Internat wrote: mppe patch:

Yes. I've held up the release of a 2.6.11 kernel, since it requires me to port to limiter over to it -- a bunch of stuff moved around in UML. Tell you what. I'll roll a new 2.6.10 kernel this evening, with the MPPE patch you requested. -Chris |

No. It was in a 2.4 kernel long ago, but is no longer. Use 2.6.10-linode12 (and 2.6 kernels from here on out) if you need MPPE. I'm curious if it works for you guys -- please let me know. -Chris |
