How To Initiate VPN From Terminal

rated 0 times [ 4] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 61103 / 2 Years ago, fri, november 11, 2022, 11:20:10

Under "System" > "Preferences" > "Network Connections" I can create PPTP VPNs. This works when I am at a GUI, I can click the network connections icon in the top right, and select a VPN from the list and connect to it.

Is it possible to connect to these PPTP sessions via the terminal if I only have SSH access, using these predefined sessions, so I don't have to type all the details in again?

So it turns out this is a duplicate of another question which I couldn't previously find;

Connect/disconnect from VPN from the command line

I would like to add though, to install nmcli on my 10.04 machine I had to;

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:network-manager/trunk  

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install network-manager
