Hello all,

I am really enjoying my BQ, thanks, great job so far.

I placed a VPN server at home, and I would like to be able to open a ppp 
vpn when outside (via the 4G and other WiFis), same as I do with my 
Ubuntu laptop and android devices.

L2TP/IPSEC support would be great, but I would settle even for PPTP with 
MPPE128.

An similar example of how I configure PPTP in Ubuntu desktop  is shown 
here:
https://help.my-private-network.co.uk/support/solutions/articles/8452-pptp-on-linux-via-command-line

My stock OTA-7 Does not have PPP daemon installed, and does not have the 
ppp-generic package in the repo.

I can help with setting up VPNs from the phones, but first I would need 
some help obtaining pptp-linux, pptpd, ppp and curl packages.

Here are the error messages I get:

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo modprobe ppp-generic
[sudo] password for phablet:
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:557 kmod_search_moddep() could not 
open moddep file '/lib/modules/3.4.67/modules.dep.bin'

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo apt-get install pptp-linux pptpd ppp curl
