[SOLVED] pptpclient internet connection problem

I have installed pptpclient package and configured it according to archwiki page. I connect to the wireless modem at my work using wifi-menu and I can verify the wifi connection using netctl list.
As I run the command

sudo pon atimehdi debug dump logfd 2 nodetach

I get this on the terminal:

pppd options in effect:

nodetach                # (from command line)
logfd 2         # (from command line)

The pon command doesn't terminate and this is the ip link result:

    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

8: ppp0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1460 qdisc fq_codel state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 3
    link/ppp 

But when I ping some websites, there's no connection. I'm able to connect to the internet with the same user and password using a windows machine or android phone by creating a vpn connection. Also I have no problem connecting to internet with my arch linux system on my home wifi network which doesn't require a pptp connection setup.
Can someone help me solve this problem?

Re: [SOLVED] pptpclient internet connection problem

The wiki link you posted doesn't work, probably because the url starts with a / .


What is the output of ip route show when connected ?

Does pinging the ip-address of those websites work ?

I fixed the wiki link.
This is the result of ip route show command:

default via 192.168.5.1 dev wlp3s0 proto dhcp src 192.168.5.33 metric 3003 
185.119.167.1 dev ppp0 proto kernel scope link src 185.119.167.108 
192.168.5.0/25 dev wlp3s0 proto dhcp scope link src 192.168.5.33 metric 3003 
192.168.5.1 dev wlp3s0 scope link src 192.168.5.33 

And the ping result for 217.64.195.201 or 142.250.181.174:

PING 217.64.195.201 (217.64.195.201) 56(84) bytes of data.

Re: [SOLVED] pptpclient internet connection problem

Is your/ your work intention to use the vpn to access company servers or for all traffic ?

I'm assuming the latter for now.

as root run

# ip route add default dev ppp0

check ip route show again, it should list a new default route that uses the vpn tunnel.
Try pinging some external websites again.

This works. Thank you so much.
I assumed that the default setting would be to route all the traffic through vpn.

Re: [SOLVED] pptpclient internet connection problem

Some vpn clients do that, but it's not guaranteed to happen.

If you want to configure it so that such a route is added automatically when connecting the vpn you can use a script :
see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PPTP_C … pp/ip-up.d

(it's on the same page you linked, but further down).
