## Troubleshooting

### Docker 1.7.x and connection issues
After upgrading from Docker 1.3.0 to Docker 1.7.1 the containers started from image `mobtitude/vpn-pptp` stopped accepting connections to VPN without any reason.
Connections were dropped after timeout.

It looked like Docker deamon didn't forward packets for GRE protocol to container.

One of the possible solutions is to start container with networking mode set to host by adding param `--net=host` to run command:

````
docker run -d --privileged --net=host -v {local_path_to_chap_secrets}:/etc/ppp/chap-secrets mobtitude/vpn-pptp
````

**Note:** Before starting container in `--net=host` mode, please read how networking in `host` mode works in Docker:
