I'm trying to set up a VPN on a dedicated hosted linux server running ubuntu 12.04 64 bit. I'm probably going to use pptpd for compatibility with windows built in VPN client. I've never set up a VPN before so I have some questions. While reading a setup tutorial I saw that each connection has to be assigned to an IP address on the LAN. Since I have no control over that LAN the server is hosted on I did some looking on how to accomplish this and read I have to have a kernel with TUN or TAP support. Was wanting to ask if I'm heading in the right direction? The server is still being setup by the provider so I don't have access yet but want to get everything lined up so I know what all this setup is going to entail. Can anyone offer some advice or point me to some direction to learn how I can accomplish my goal?
Thanks in advance for any info
