I am trying to connect to hidemyass.com VPN services via PPTP, but I am having issues understanding why it isn't working, since I don't get a warning or fatal error and my IP remains the same.

This is how i create the connection:

[root@lasvegas-nv-datacenter ~]# pptpsetup --create TUNNELNAME --server 199.58.165.20 --username MYUSERNAME --password MYPASSWORD --encrypt --start

And this is the output:

Using interface ppp0 Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/1 CHAP authentication succeeded MPPE 128-bit stateless compression enabled local IP address 10.200.21.14 remote IP address 10.200.20.1

After that, I check the log and this is what i get:

[root@lasvegas-nv-datacenter ~]# tail -f /var/log/messages Aug 24 11:25:33 lasvegas-nv-datacenter pptp[3892]: anon log[ctrlp_rep:pptp_ctrl.c:254]: Sent control packet type is 1 'Start-Control-Connection-Request'

Can someone help me? Basically, i Ieed to connect to the VPN and have my IP changed after the connection. I read a lot of guides but still cannot understand why I don't get a connection.
