PPTP VPN
PPTP Server
Path: VPN > PPTP VPN > PPTP Server
A PPTP VPN can be established through this router. Once enabled a PPTP server is available on the router for LAN
and WAN PPTP client users to access. Once the PPTP server is enabled, PPTP clients that are within the range of
configured IP addresses of allowed clients can reach the router’s PPTP server. Once authenticated by the PPTP
server (the tunnel endpoint), PPTP clients have access to the network managed by the router.
The range of IP addresses allocated to PPTP clients can coincide with the LAN subnet. As well the PPTP server
will default to local PPTP user authentication, but can be configured to employ an external authentication server
should one be configured.
