FreeRADIUS offers an easy to use command line tool to check if the server is running and listening to incoming requests. Aninterface, a NAS/Client and a user must all be configured:

  • Add a User with the following configuration:Username: testuser

  • Add a Client/NAS with the following configuration:IP-Address: 127.0.0.1
    Shared Secret: testing123
  • Add an interface with the following configuration:IP-Address: 127.0.0.1
    Interface-Type: Auth
    Port: 1812
  • SSH to the pfSense firewall and type in the following on the command line while FreeRADIUS is running (check before in System Log):

If you want to build a PPTP server graphically build using pfsense nice looking interface, then please do follow the steps below. Here I assume, a proper NAT firewall is already running in the pfsense configuration.

Step-1

  1. Go to VPN > PPTP from top menu
  2. Under “Configuration” tab-
    1. PPTP redirection > Enable PPTP server
    2. Define “No of user”

    4. Remote Address Range- <your LAN IP>
    5. PPTP DNS Server- I used- 114.130.5.5 and 8.8.8.8
    6. Place a ‘tick’ “Require 128-bit encryption”
    7. Save

      8. Continue reading “Creating PPTP on Pfsense 2.2.4” »
