How to set up a route in ppp0?
You can use route or the newer ip route to set up routes: The “if specifically asked for” is a problem – you set routes by destination address, not by program. So if you know which addresses you want to contact via ppp0, you can set these addresses as non-default routes.
How to create a second gateway in PPP?
The main idea behind the second gateway approach, is to create a Second Routing Table in /etc/iproute2/rt_tables (in my case I named it ppp ). After this is done, routes are added to this new table and rules are defined:
How can I Quit my PPP server without resetting the modem?
To do this, your communications software must be capable of quitting WITHOUT resetting the modem. Minicom can do this – ALT Q (or in older version of minicom CTRL A Q) Make sure you are logged in as root. Fire up you communications software, (such as minicom), dial into the PPP server and log in as normal.
What does the PPP server do on the Internet?
The PPP server then is responsible for routing our packets out onto the Internet and routing the return packets back to us. If you do not see a routing table with two entries, something is wrong.
How to run curl as root on ppp0?
In both cases, calling curl –interface ppp0 ifconfig.co as root works and returns the IP address of the VPN connection, but I cannot execute the command as any other non-root user. The command curl –interface eth1 ifconfig.co works fine as root or a normal user.
How can I setup a route or whatever needed?
How can I setup a route or whatever needed, so that traffic (to the internet) can be going through the tunnel, if specifically asked for, i.e., by defining the interface ppp0 to be used? Here is some information (the name of the VPN connection is amsterdam ):
How to set up a VPN in Debian?
I have Debian 8.0.0-64 running on my server, which has eth1 as the interface with the default gateway. eth0 is pointing to the internal network. I set up a VPN (TotalVPN) connection using the following instructions: http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-debian.phtml#configure_by_hand
How to add a PPP account to Linux?

How can I run PPP as a regular user?
To launch PPP as a regular user one must get root privileges to run PPP. Note: The RPM package sudo must be installed. Right button click on the open desktop + New + Launcher: Click the icon to select and display an icon. Note: Linuxconf is no longer included with most Linux distributions. (Red Hat 7.3+)
Can a PPP link be used to undo an IP-up?
In a similar fashion, /etc/ppp/ip-down is used to undo all actions of ip-up after the PPP link has been taken down again. However, the routing scheme is not yet complete. We have set up routing table entries on both PPP hosts, but so far, all other hosts on both networks don’t know anything about the PPP link.
Is it possible to use both ppp0 connections simultaneously?
I have two ppp0 and ppp1 connections using 3G modems. Is it possible to use both connections simultaneously? Unfortunately, when defining the default gateway for the first ppp0 there is a problem with the ppp1 connection and vice versa. Is it possible not to set the gateway and redirect the packets to IP gateways via iptables rules?
Is it possible not to set the default gateway for the first ppp0?
Unfortunately, when defining the default gateway for the first ppp0 there is a problem with the ppp1 connection and vice versa. Is it possible not to set the gateway and redirect the packets to IP gateways via iptables rules? In general, I wanted to use this when sending messages from several modems in parallel at Mbuni MMS gateway.
By default, service connections are not shared with any other projects. Only the organization-level administrators from User permissions can share the service connection with other projects. The user who is sharing the service connection with a project should have atleast create service connection permission in the target project.
