VPN connection to provider

Hello. I'am new linux (Zorin OS 9) user and I have a question, how to connect VPN?

a) From MS Win settings I have: 1.Server IP 2.Client IP 3.Login 4.Password. So in which fields I have to write them?
Also, when I'am writing digits in fields "Save" button is inactive! So it's difficcult to experiment with them.


b) I downloaded VPNPPTP program it doesn't work too.



c) I tried to install via command prompt, no effect.


If You know, please, tell me which fields and what I have to write?

P.s. It'll be better without external links, my english (the more technical) is not whell. Thanks.

Hi, Does this help?

Actualy, no. Software Manager shows that 'network-manager-openvpn' is not installed and '/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/' folder is empty, I don't know how install it. But it shows installed programs: network-manager, network-manager-pptp, network-manager-pptp-gnome. I have to read books?

Is this any better?

Sorry I don't do VPN hence my pointers to elsewhere!

Do you know whic VPN service you need to use?

Cisco, Citrix, Openvpn, or something like that.
The only one I have used on Linux is the Openvpn which is pretty simple to install and use.

Code:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install openvpn -y

then you will need to change to the directory with your config file (depending on your config, if it is relative or absolute, most are relative that I have seen )

Code:

cd /location/of/config/for/openvpn/; sudo openvpn configfile.conf

and that should start the VPN (assuming it is openvpn). I would also putting this in a screen and sending to backgroud as I don't think you need all your datas =]. This can be done by making a small change.

Code:

cd /location/of/config/for/openvpn/; screen -S openvpn; sudo openvpn configfile.conf

Then you will need to press [ctrl]+[a]+[d]. and it will put it in backgroud for you.

Hope this helps.

Temporarily solved by configuring the router TP Link. Thanks for instructions.

Also you can easily configure VPN SSH on your Linux. Try this http://www.vpnfaqs.com/2015/02/configure-ssh-linux/ it is easily, more secure and ensure anonymity and encryption while surfing the web. Recommended by my friends.
