PPTP Proxy Server

Ever needed to be able to connect to a site through a firewall to an internal VPN server on a private IP address?

Its Possible with a utility called Frickin PPTP Proxy.
Frickin PPTP Proxy installs on your firewall to forward pptp requests through to an internal server on a private subnet.

First download frickin pptp proxy . You should save it to your Linux Firewall in the /tmp directory. Then run the following:
# cd / # tar -zxvf /tmp/frickinpptp.tgz # cd /etc/frickin
Follow the instructions in the file README.cyberpro.

Modify /etc/frickin/frickin.conf to suit your site.
# chkconfig --add frickin # chkconfig --level 345 frickin on # service frickin start
Thats it.
Frickin will log info about what its doing in the /var/log/messages file.
