4-1-4. PPTP
PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) was developed by a consortium including Microsoft and is used for
establishing VPN (Virtual Private Network) tunnels across the Internet. This allows remote users to securely and
inexpensively access their corporate network from anywhere on the Internet.
PPTP uses a client-server model for establishing VPN connections. Most Microsoft operating systems ship with
a PPTP client, so there is no need to purchase third-party client software. PPTP has the additional advantage
over other VPN technologies of being easy to setup.
