Remote Subnet
A Must fill setting
Specify the remote subnet for this PPTP tunnel to reach PPTP server.
The Remote Subnet format must be IP address/netmask (e.g. 10.0.0.2/24).
It is for the Intranet of PPTP VPN server. So, at PPTP client peer, the packets
whose destination is in the dedicated subnet will be transferred via the PPTP
VPN tunnel. Others will be transferred based on current routing policy of the
security gateway at PPTP client peer.
If you entered 0.0.0.0/0 in the Remote Subnet field, it will be treated as
a default gateway setting for the PPTP client peer, all packets, including the
Internet accessing of PPTP Client peer, will go through the established PPTP
VPN tunnel. That means the remote PPTP VPN server controls the flow of any
packets from the PPTP client peer. Certainly, those packets come through the
PPTP VPN tunnel.
