并不全是翻译，我补充了一些，希望对英语盲有用
文中涉及到
目录vpnclient，即PacketiX VPN 客户端的安装文件所在的目录
可执行文件vpnclient，目录vpnclient中的一个文件
可执行文件vpncmd，目录vpnclient中的一个文件
启动脚本vpnclient，我编的用来执行目录vpnclient中的可执行文件vpnclient的脚本
启动脚本vpncmd，我编的用来执行目录vpnclient中的可执行文件vpncmd的脚本
1. 安装PacketiX VPN 客户端依赖的软件包： zlib, openssl, readline, and ncurses
代码： 全选
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev libreadline-dev openssl libncurses5-dev2. 下载PacketiX VPN 客户端，从
http://www.packetix.net/en/secure/install/
或 http://www.plathome.com/products/packetix/download.html
3. 解压PacketiX VPN 客户端的安装文件，进入安装文件所在的文件夹，编译PacketiX VPN 客户端
代码： 全选
tar -zxvf vpnclient-5350a-rtm-en-linux-x86.tar.gz && cd vpnclient* && make注释2.有一个隐藏文件.install.sh，用来询问用户是否同意使用协议， 不用运行它，它在make的过程中已经执行过了
4.下载secure.vpn，复制到目录vpnclient内
http://www.packetix.net/en/secure/secure.vpn
5. 我个人希望将可执行文件vpnclient和可执行文件vpncmd作为系统命令，对此没有要求的请跳过这步
将目录vpnclient复制到目录 /usr/lib下
代码： 全选
sudo cp -r vpnclient /usr/lib启动脚本vpnclient
代码： 全选
#!/bin/bash
vpnclientpath=/usr/lib/vpnclient
if [ ! -w $vpnclientpath ]
then
sudo chmod 777 $vpnclientpath
fi
cd $vpnclientpath
./vpnclient "$*"
exit 0启动脚本vpncmd
代码： 全选
#!/bin/bash
vpnclientpath=/usr/lib/vpnclient
if [ ! -w $vpnclientpath ]
then
sudo chmod 777 $vpnclientpath
fi
cd $vpnclientpath
./vpncmd "$*"
exit 0代码： 全选
sudo cp vpnclient /usr/bin
sudo cp vpncmd /usr/bin6. 启动vpnclient
代码： 全选
./vpnclient start代码： 全选
./vpnclient stop7. 启动vpncmd进行设置
代码： 全选

The command terminated normally.10.导入vpn账户配置文件secure.vpn，注意刚才我们已经把secure.vpn复制到目录vpnclient里了
在
代码： 全选
VPN Client>AccountImport 然后输入我们要到入的设置文件的文件名
代码： 全选
Import Source File Name: secure.vpn 代码： 全选
The VPN Connection Setting "Secure" was imported.
The command terminated normally11.如果是手工创建vpn账户配置，假设按照secure.vpn中的内容设置，过程如下
代码： 全选
VPN Client>AccountCreate代码： 全选

VPN Client>quit代码： 全选
VPN Client>AccountDisconnect14.将某个账户配置设成一启动vpnclient，就自动连接的方式
代码： 全选
VPN Client>AccountStartupSet代码： 全选
Name of VPN Connection Setting: VPN15.如果我们已经用某个账户配置连接VPN的话，查看连接信息
这步是在终端下执行的，不是在vpncmd下
代码： 全选
root@bur8:~/vpnclient> ifconfig vpn_0代码： 全选
vpn_0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:ac:9d:03:5c:f6
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:1603 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:500
RX bytes:463867 (463.8 KB) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)我自己一直执行到这一步都正常，但是虚拟网卡好像没接到笔记本的wifi网卡上，而是接到了以太网卡上，先做一下验证，剩下的我以后再翻译

In tips & tricks on 8 August 2009 tagged simple packetix free vpn guide with 14 comments
recently i'm been using packetix.net vpn and the speed is quite good... unfortunately there's not many guide on how to use the client on linux, so i'm writing one.

0. to make things easier, lets transform into root
sudo su && cd
1. now, make a folder name vpn and download the vpnclient file from their web http://packetix.net/en/secure/install/
mkdir vpn && cd vpn
wget -c http://packetix.net/en/special/files/vp ... x86.tar.gz
2. now to compile this files, you need zlib, openssl, readline and ncurses.
apt-get install zlib1g-dev libreadline5-dev
3. once finish,extract the file and continue with compile
tar -zxvf vpnclient-5350a-rtm-en-linux-x86.tar.gz && cd vpnclient* && make
4. connecting/tunneling to packettix.net
./vpnclient start
./vpncmd
5. inside vpncmd
choose number 2
[2] Management of VPN Clinet and input localhost as the destination host
u will see something like this...
Input destination: localhost
Connected to VPN Client "localhost".
VPN Client>
6. now configuring your connection....read..and follow
root@bur8:~/vpnclient> ./vpncmd
vpncmd command - PacketiX VPN Command Line Management Utility

By using vpncmd program, the following can be achieved.
1. Management of VPN Server or VPN Bridge
2. Management of VPN Clinet
3. Use of VPN Tools (certificate creation and communication speed measurement)
Select 1, 2 or 3: 2
Specify the host name or IP address of the computer that the destination VPN Client is operating on.
If nothing is input and Enter is pressed, connection will be made to localhost (this computer).
Input destination: localhost
Connected to VPN Client "localhost".
VPN Client>niccreate

7. now check for connection... note the value of _0 at the end of vpn
root@bur8:~/vpnclient> ifconfig vpn_0
vpn_0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:ac:9d:03:5c:f6
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

7. get dhcp from vpn
root@bur8:~/vpnclient> dhclient vpn_0
Listening on LPF/vpn_0/00:ac:9d:03:5c:f6
Sending on LPF/vpn_0/00:ac:9d:03:5c:f6

root@bur8:~/vpnclient> ifconfig vpn_0
vpn_0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:ac:9d:03:5c:f6
inet addr:10.3.83.250 Bcast:10.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0
now you can start routing you connection to vpn..
sorry but this is a noob routing technique...it will redirect all your traffic to vpn
route del default
route add default dev vpn_0
for more about how to do advance routing in linux please refer to http://lartc.org/howto/index.html
p/s: to back to your current connection.. stop the service and reroute back to your original gateway.
in my case
./vpnclient stop
route del default
route add default dev ppp0
where ppp0 is my celcom 3g modem interface
for those who didn't know what the hell packetix.net is....
PacketiX.NET is an academic, non-profit online environment for PacketiX VPN, the VPN technology developed by SoftEther Corporation.
more info please visit their website at http://packetix.net/en/
update: you need to enable ipforwarding or else you won't be able to connect to internet.
$ echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
or simply edit your /etc/sysctl.conf file
hope it this guide will give benefit to everyone.. thank you
