Alter Ego

This is actually an update from my earlier post.

There is actually a way to do this in GUI (which is far easier to maintain; and definitely the preferred of many users that I know).

First you need to install something.

Let it install whatever dependencies it needs. After its done, click on your network icon on your top panel.


Choose to Configure VPN...



Choose vpnc

Fill up the Connection Name; it can be anything, doesn't matter. After that click Forward.

After that you are done! Click on Apply.

Click on Network Connections, and choose your newly created VPN connection.

It will prompt for your username and password to proceed.

I hope that's simple enough! :D
