Update:
Afrihost Cape Town PPTP | pptp.afrihost.capetown | 169.1.2.37
Afrihost Durban PPTP | pptp.afrihost.durban | 169.1.3.19
My vision for this project is a simple quick-click connect to change regions and steer traffic where possible. This project is still a work in progress. JHB server to follow.

I'm working with the network engineers on deploying pptp vpn servers in CPT (first) and then DUR and JHB later on as a trial for gamers on the Afrihost network that are experiencing less than-ideal routing from the northern region.
I took all the complaints to heart and hope we can come up with a solution that can work for gamers and for clients that just want to download as fast and as much as they want.
We starting with a CPT PPtP server hosting in our CPT core to force routing to Europe via West Coast cables without having to make major network changes that could impact other services as well as pricing. Below are the details for clients that want to give it a go.
Server : 169.1.2.37
username and password from clientzone (pppoe details)
make sure to enable pap as the authentication method.
This project has only just started and we appreciate any feedback.
We have limited speeds via pptp to 10Mbps as a start. We will look at how we can improve this and how popular it is. We chose pptp as it's unencrypted for speed and because it already integrates with what we have built in clientzone for password resets. PPtP is also supported in the Huawei router we supply.
If you are enabling it in the router please make sure you are aware of the 10Mbps speed cap for now.
