PPTP
12.1.1
Network > Interface > PPTP
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is the extension of Point-to-
Point Protocol (PPP) for traditional dial-up network connection. It is the
most common protocol that enables the corporates to implement Virtual
Private Network (VPN) for extending their internal corporate network.
PPTP client/user connects to their VPN server using computer, router or
any networking device that supports PPTP. A TCP control connection is
then established from client to the server in order to create a virtual
tunnel. PPTP provides security by authenticating the users and packet
filtering. PPTP controls the mapping and managing of VPN tunnel and the
data inside the tunnel by encrypting and maintaining the connection. It
stores the data within a PPP packet, which are then further stored inside
IP Packets to be used for their destination. PPTP encrypts and
compresses these packets using PPP-based protocols such as PAP and
CHAP. PPTP uses GRE (General Routing Encapsulation) to send/receive
data.
