Microsoft VPN
This Chapter explains the screens and settings available for the Microsoft
VPN function.
Overview
Microsoft VPN uses the
Microsoft VPN Adapter
which is provided in recent versions of Win-
dows. This feature can be used to provide remote access to your LAN by individual PCs. This
method provides an alternative to using IPSec VPN, which is described in the previous chapter.
Using Microsoft VPN provides easier setup than using IPSec VPN.
The following Microsoft VPN configuration screens are provided.

VRT-311 / VRT-311S incorporates a PPTP (Peer-to-Peer Tunneling Protocol) server which is
compatible with the "VPN Adapter" provided with recent versions of Microsoft Windows.
Remote Windows clients are able to connect to this Server. Once connected, they can access
the LAN as if they connected locally.
The
Server
setup screen is accessed by selecting the
Server
option on the
Microsoft VPN
menu.
