My hosting company is worse than useless after repeated attempts to make my VPN connection to them never timeout/disconnect it does so randomly after a few hours of being connected. After a fair amount of research I have been able to length this from a few mins to a few hours but I am out of ideas now and short of writing reset on no ping shell script or the equiv and having it run all the time is there any other tricks I can try. Here is my /etc/ppp.conf: default: set log phase chat lcp ipcp ccp tun command set authname XXX set authkey XXX set timeout 0 set mppe 128 add 10.31.10.0/24 HISADDR enable lqr echo # set lqrperiod 45 set ifaddr 0 0 nat enable yes Here is command line I use to invoke it: /usr/local/sbin/pptp --nobuffer --loglevel 2 [vpn server IP goes here] & -- Aryeh M.
