Here is what I used to get it working on gentoo: net-misc/networkmanager net-misc/networkmanager-pptp and I had to add these to my kernel config: CONFIG_PPP CONFIG_PPP_MPPE CONFIG_PPP_ASYNC The name of the server to give networkmanager is pptp.proxpn.com I confess I have no idea how to do all of this without networkmanager, but I'd like to hear from you networking nerds out there who know more about this stuff than I do.
