Connecting branch with VPN
 

Hello everyone,

I have a VPN server (pptpd) and I'd like to connect a branch with it. It
connects and everything goes fine.


The problem is: the network in the branch is different from the central
site, which implies me that everytime it connects, I must type the route
to the branch. This happens because the gateway is only available only
when the VPN is connected, and when the it goes down the route goes as well.


So, the problem is :
* I must insert a route that is permanent even when the interface of the
gateway is down

OR
* I must execute a command when a new client connects on pptpd.

Thanks for any reply.

Are you connecting a branch's entire network or are some clients needing
on demand connections to the VPN? If the former, just use IPsec and
have the VPN gateway route traffic. If the latter, then just use
IPsec+L2TP.

Thank you for the answer.

A guy named Frederik Kriewitz answered my question: Just use a ip-up
script to add the route.


That's it. He saved my weekend ;D

Thank you all.

Best regards,
LF.
