      Hi friends
      I am working on PPTP wan client connection to pfsense PPTP server and it does not connect and says : (it is regardless of which interface you use for wan connection)

      **      ppp: [opt1] COMPPROTO VJCOMP, 16 comp. channels, no comp-cid
      ppp: [opt1] IPCP: SendConfigAck #8
      ppp: [opt1] IPADDR 192.168.172.250
      ppp: [opt1] COMPPROTO VJCOMP, 16 comp. channels, no comp-cid

      ppp: [opt1] IPCP: state change Ack-Sent –> Closing
      ppp: [opt1] IPCP: SendTerminateReq #36
      ppp: [opt1] IPCP: Down event

      I tested it with Windows PPTP Server and it is the same

      Any buddy knows why?
      Thank you

        That is not meant to connect to a remote PPTP VPN. It's meant to connect to certain special ISPs that require PPTP to login.

          I tested it with pfsense or windows because it did not work with remote pptp server. I want to use it with ISP but it fails with kernel: Loop detected on pptp0.
          What is the technical problem. because I think if you support PPTP connection on WAN. Other things are layer 3 or above issues and the packet is delivered to PPTP server. Is it about mpd insuffisance or adding some configuration in GUI can solve it.

          I appreciate you if letting me know what is the underlying problem about.

          I really want to solve it and send a patch.

          Best regards
