PPTP out broke in latest nightly updates?

Juve

I confirm I see the same happening with snapshot pfSense-Full-Update-2.0-RC1-i386-20110417-0254.
I need to disable the PPTP Server to allow outbound PPTP connections.

When the PPTP Server is active, GRE outbound connections are duplicated, one is passing through without being NATed, the other is NATed but the GRE sequence number get changed.

That is expected behavior. The PPTP proxy code was removed because it was causing panics and such. Without the PPTP proxy you can't run and server and host clients.

How far back was the proxy removed? I need to roll back a few installs to get this back, but want to be as current as possible.

Retire pptp patch until some other issues are fixed with it. Its time will come after 2.0./eri@pfsense.org

where is it possible to get build befor patch?

FredS7

It looks like we'll have to wait until after the release until this gets fixed. I need this to work in order to use pfSense. As the last person asked, is there any way to get a build before the patch or do I just have to wait?

You could setup your own builder and reactivate the patch, assuming it still applies cleanly.

It was removed for good reason, it causes crashes/panics/hangs in its current state. I wouldn't consider using it for production at this stage.

it's worked good for me and many of my friends and customers. I'll set my own builder to build the latest i386 version with this patch. any good instructions how to set builder for feebsd newcomer (i have good redhat knowledge)

A stock FreeBSD 8.1 install is enough, works well in a VM. Just make the drive one slice (large /) and swap, don't try to make separate slices for /tmp, etc, like the installer auto-defaults to.

The builder code is in pretty good shape these days, just when you build watch out that the first port build run usually fails, the second and rest succeed. For similar reasons, the first iso build usually fails, the second and later ones succeed.

just tried to build iso.
without pptp patch build finished ok.
with pptp path i have followiong errors:
