The PPTP plugin enhances NetworkManager to support the Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP). This allows for secure and private communication between remote users and a private network.
NetworkManager-pptp is an application that offers PPTP support for NetworkManager. It simplifies the process of establishing virtual private networks (VPN) since it allows users to connect to a PPTP-based VPN with the use of NetworkManager.
Installation of this package can be done by following these simple steps:
1. Navigate to the directory that contains the source code package and type './configure' to allow the package to configure itself for your system. If you are using 'csh' on an old System V version, you may need to use 'sh./configure' instead to prevent 'csh' from performing its own execution of 'configure'.
2. After configuring the package, type 'make' to compile it.
3. For packages with self-tests, proceed to run the self-tests by typing 'make check'.
4. Installation of the program, data files, and documentation can be done by typing 'make install'.
5. If you want to remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory, you can do so by typing 'make clean', and if you wish to remove the files that 'configure' created, you can type 'make distclean'. There is also a 'make maintainer-clean' target, but this target is intended mainly for developers of the package. However, if you require it, you may need to get other programs necessary to regenerate files that came with the distribution.
Overall, NetworkManager-pptp is a handy application that simplifies VPN connectivity through the use of NetworkManager. With its easy installation process, users can easily set up and connect to a PPTP-based VPN without much hassle.
