I need to get my fix of British talk shows, but in order to do that, I need to use a PPTP VPN.
How do I connect to a PPTP server on Mageia?

The lengths some people will go to to watch "Loose Women"![]()
Depending on what sort of VPN you need there is a wizard in Mageia Control Centre but you have to install the drakwizard package first to get the extended set of MCC wizards.
If it is not a Cisco or OpenVPN VPN you need to connect to then this link may help

It is for PCLinuxOS so it should be much the same as Mageia.
