Hello
I am going to setup a VPN server on my VPS ,so I installed ppp and pptpd on my VPS successfully , but seems the kernel of my VPS doesnt support PPP , so I couldnt make it work.
when I try to strat pppd I get the following error :

the PPP kernel module could not be loaded, or because PPP was not
included in the kernel configuration. If PPP was included as a
module, try `/sbin/modprobe -v ppp'. If that fails, check that
ppp.o exists in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/net.
See README.linux file in the ppp distribution for more details.

I asked Admin of my network to enable it on my server , but seems he has had no luck doing it and he asked lxlabs support ( they are using HYPERVM ) and here is their answer :

I will appreciate if you can help me about this matter.
Best Regards

Hello,

In order to use some kernel module in VE, it should be loaded on HN. However it won't help in your case, because ppp is not virtualized at the moment: http://bugzilla.openvz.org/show_bug.cgi?id=268
