I'm new to VPNs, so there's a good chance I'm completelymisunderstanding my needs here.My workplace is setup so that I can only ssh into its servers wheneither (a) I'm using a computer in the building or (b) I'm connected viaVPN. Naturally, they only support VPN through Windows, so I'm on my ownfor figuring out how to (and whether I even can) get it working onlinux.I have a start on connecting to the VPN on the command line. If I type:pon workit'll connect using the settings in /etc/ppp/peers/work with thefollowing syslog output:[pppd] pppd 2.4.6 started by root, uid 0[pppd] Using interface ppp0[pppd] Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/3[pppd] pppd 2.4.6 started by root, uid 0[pppd] Using interface ppp1[pppd] Connect: ppp1 <--> /dev/pts/4and then, 30 seconds later:[pppd] LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests_[pppd] Connection terminated.[pppd] Modem hangup[pppd] Exit.[pppd] LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests_[pppd] Connection terminated.[pppd] Modem hangup[pppd] Exit.It's around here that I took a step back and realized that I have noidea how I'll even know if it's working.I did manage to find this page on PPTProuting, but I have noidea what kind of route I even want to setup. Do I want client-to-LAN?The server I'm connecting to is public-facing; it just only accepts sshconnections from machines in the building (or, allegedly, over VPN). SoI don't see how client-to-LAN would help me, since I really just wanttraffic to a particular IP address to go through the PPTP tunnel.For all intents and purposes, my home machine has no GUI whatsoever. I'monly interested in connecting to a single computer via port 22 throughthe VPN.My questions at this point:Is what I'm trying to do possible (assuming I get my PPTP clientworking)?Can you point me to any examples of somebody who's made this work?All I can find are people doing the opposite (i.e. PPTP through an sshtunnel), and it doesn't help that I have no idea what I'm doing.
Can I ssh to a server through a pptp tunnel?
