You don't need the pty. I don't recommend vpn over ssh, unless its
absolutely necessary. OpenVPN is much better ...
I've set it up (as it was absolutely necessary :-), and here is a config
from the 'client'.
default:
set timeout 0
set log phase chat connect lcp ipcp
set dial
set login
cli:
set device "!ssh -l cli -i /etc/ppp/ppp.key server.domain.com
/usr/sbin/ppp -direct srv"
set ifaddr 10.0.4.4 10.0.4.3 255.255.255.255
add! 192.168.x.0/24 HISADDR
set lqrperiod 60
enable lqr
'client' is enabled by running ppp -ddial cli from rc script.
Then the 'Server' - of course, 'cli' needs a user account on the system,
and all the ssh stuff setup (authorized keys, etc).
default:
set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
srv:
allow user cli
set ifaddr 10.0.4.3 10.0.4.4 255.255.255.255
set timeout 0
add! 192.168.y.0/24 HISADDR
set lqrperiod 60
enable lqr
accept lqr
