PPTP Server

The Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a method for implementing virtual private networks. PPTP uses a control channel over TCP and a GRE tunnel operating to encapsulate PPP packets. Up to 25 PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) VPN tunnels can be enabled for users who are running PPTP client software. In the Wizard, the user selects the option to create a connection to the workplace by using a VPN connection.

To configure the PPTP Server, follow these steps.
