Re: [BLUG] IU VPN connection on Linux

Dirk,

I can connect to the IU VPN from my laptop (running Ubuntu Hardy 8.04). AFAIR, there were issues with Ubuntu Hardy initially, but I had got it going with a few workarounds. That said, the new IU VPN Linux installer on IUWARE should work out-of-the-box.

(I use the Linux VPN PPTP script for IU)

Cheers,

Hi,

Has anyone gotten the IU or IUPUI VPN connection to work on Linux?  I am running Xubuntu on an older laptop and my wife is taking it to IUPUI next week for some classes.  She needs to connect to the IUPUI VPN over wireless while there.  My wireless works fine and we can connect to the IUPUI VPN on my XP box using the downloaded VPN connector from IUWare Online and her credentials.  I've been using the information from http://www.ussg.iu.edu/support/documentation#iuvpn but can't seem to get a connection. 

 

If this works, she'll willingly switch the whole house over to Linux (though we may keep a dual-booted XP machine around just in case).  I'd appreciate any help on this matter so I can ditch XP as a daily OS in the house and get her onboard with Linux.
