To enable PPP on a Openvz VM

First you need to check for modules in main node

# lsmod | grep ppp

[root@hostonline ~]# lsmod | grep ppp
pppoatm 4677 0
atm 48487 1 pppoatm
zlib_deflate 21629 1 ppp_deflate
ppp_mppe 6182 0
ppp_generic 25763 4 pppoatm,ppp_async,ppp_deflate,ppp_mppe
slhc 5813 1 ppp_generic

We see below modules missing in results so we enable it on main node using

# modprobe ppp_async

# modprobe ppp_deflate

(In Below example 110 is VM ID / VPS ID )

vzctl stop 110

vzctl set 110 –features ppp:on –save

vzctl start 110

vzctl set 110 –devices c:108:0:rw –save

vzctl exec 110 mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0

vzctl exec 110 chmod 600 /dev/ppp

vzctl enter 110

To check whether PPP is enabled or not:

Vps# /usr/sbin/pppd

You should see gibberish in the standard output like
~�}#�!}!}!} }4}”}&} } } } }%}&)Q�}4}’}”}(}”p})
