Pptpclient

Jul 20, 2023

This is a port of the “pptp-linux” PPTP client. It can establish a PPP connection with an NT server, tunneled through a PPTP link over the Internet. In effect, it makes the client machine behave as if it were on the same LAN as the server.

John Polstra has created the port, including bug fixes that were subsequently integrated in the upstream release, and a patch to use FreeBSD’s userland “ppp” package rather than “pppd” which it was originally designed to use.

There is no manpage for this package, but you will find some quickstart instructions and example configuration files in “$PREFIX/share/examples/pptpclient”.
