PPTP server address
field, enter the IP address of the PPTP server.
7. From the Authentication type drop down list, select the Authentication type used on the server. If you do not know the authentication method used, select any and the router will
attempt to determine the correct authentication type for you. There are 5 authentication types you can choose from:
CHAP – uses a three way handshake to authenticate the identity of a client.
MS-CHAP v1 – This is the Microsoft implementation of the Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol for which support was dropped in Windows® Vista.
MS-CHAP v2 - This is the Microsoft implementation of the Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol which was introduced in Windows® NT 4.0 and is still supported
today.
PAP – The Password Authentication Protocol uses a password as a means of authentication and as such, is commonly supported. PAP is not recommended because it
transmits passwords unencrypted and is not secure.
EAP – Extensible Authentication Protocol. An Authentication protocol commonly used in wireless networks.
8. The
metric

12. The
Verbose logging
option sets the router to output detailed logs regarding the PPTP connection in the
System Log
section of the router interface.
13. The
Reconnect delay
is the time in seconds that the router will wait before attempting to connect to the PPTP server in the event that the connection is broken. The minimum time to
wait is 30 seconds so as to not flood the PPTP server with connection requests, while the maximum time to wait is 65335 seconds.
14. The
Reconnect retries
is the number of connection attempts that the router will make in the event that the PPTP connection goes down. If set to 0, the router will retry the connection
indefinitely, otherwise the maximum number of times to retry cannot be greater than 65335.

Save
button to save the changes. The VPN will attempt to connect after your click Save. Click the
Status
