PPTP
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol mostly used with Windows computers. Today,
PPTP is considered obsolete for use in VPNs because of its many known security deficiencies. Nevertheless,
PPTP is still in use in some networks. PPTP uses a TCP control channel and a generic routing encapsulation
tunnel to encapsulate PPP packets. Enable VPN using the check box (Figure 46), and select PPTP for the VPN
protocol. Enter the other parameters per Table 13.
