Overview

accel-ppp is a fast, multithreaded PPP server for Linux. It terminates remote access VPN sessions carried over SSTP and L2TP, and can also serve PPPoE where a layer 2 path exists, handling user authentication, IP address assignment and session accounting in a single daemon. It is driven entirely by a plain text configuration file and a loopback management console, with no web interface and no external database, which makes it a lean building block for a standards based remote access gateway.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg ships accel-ppp secure by default. Every secret is generated on the first boot of your own VM and nothing is baked into the image: the VPN user password, the management console password, the L2TP tunnel secret and the SSTP TLS keypair are all unique per machine, and the image is proven to ship with no users, no keys and no upstream sample credentials. It uses only in tree kernel modules, so kernel upgrades never break it. Paired with a step by step deploy guide and backed by 24/7 support.

Common uses

  • A remote access VPN gateway for staff and site connectivity
  • A standards based SSTP or L2TP endpoint for mixed client fleets
  • A PPP session concentrator for lab and service provider testing
