[CentOS] PPTP VPN server

["Germán Andrés Pulido F."]

Hi!

Thanks everyone who helped me. In the end, it seems the problem is the 
virtualizing software, since I installed openvpn, configured it, and the 
exact same thing happens. Is there any log i can look to have any clue 
about this kind of reboots?

Thanks!
