Settings – PPTP
The Geneko Router can be used as a PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) client. PPTP enables
the secure transfer of data from a remote computer to a private server by creating a VPN connection across
IP-based data networks. PPTP uses a control channel over TCP and a GRE tunnel operating to encapsulate
PPP packets.
