| Under **Authentication**, **de-select all the methods except MSCHAPv2**. Then select **Use Point-to-Point Encryption (MPPE)** and choose **128-bit (most secure)** in the **Security** dropdown. Click **OK**, then **Apply** and close all other configuration dialogs. Now when you left-click on the network manager icon, you should have your PPTP VPN listed under **VPN Connections**. Just select it and wait. If it is successful, you'll see a little lock icon appear over the usual network manager icon. If not, check your system log for errors. This will be ///var/log/messages// or ///var/log/syslog//, depending on your distro. | Under **Authentication**, **de-select all the methods except MSCHAPv2**.

| If you use network manager, all traffic will be routed through the PPTP VPN for you once you are connected. If that's not what you want, you can click on **IPV4 Settings** and then **Routes** to have simple static routes added for you automatically when the VPN connects. You can also check **Use this connection only for resources on this network**, which in our case means only connections to SDF hosts will be encrypted. | If you use network manager, all traffic will be routed through the PPTP VPN for you once you are connected.
