First of all, thank you for your answer! Now it works. In fact, i have put the auth-pap in my config files because i think i have to put it in order to authenticate me to the server with pap. It seems that i was wrong... So i can't put these options in the config file on the client side? If i understand, he server ask the client for PAP, CHAP or MS-CHAP method to authenticate? The client doesn't choose authentication method? Is it right? Thanks for your answer.

Almost no server will do so. Get rid of the auth-pap or +pap from your options. That is NOT without authentication. The far side demands that you authenticate to them anyway.
