Configuring Software - VPN Connections
You may need to connect to a VPN at your workplace or otherwise. Some of these VPNs use all software (such as Microsoft's pptp VPN connections) or a hardware device with a software client (such as nortel or cisco).
To connect to a Microsoft pptp vpn, you will need to ensure you have enabled the proper networking support in your kernel. Once you've got those requirements sorted out, you'll need to emerge the pptp client.
$ sudo emerge -av pptpclient
Once the emerge completes, there are a few files you will need to configure in order to get your VPN connection working properly.
