PPTP requires two IP addresses, one for each end of the tunnel. The PPTP address

range is the range of addresses reserved for remote PPTP clients. When the remote

PPTP client establishes a connection, the FortiGate unit assigns an IP address from the

reserved range of IP addresses to the client PPTP interface or retrieves the assigned IP

address from the PPTP user group. If you use the PPTP user group, you must also define

the FortiGate end of the tunnel by entering the IP address of the unit in Local IP (web-

based manager) or local-ip (CLI). The PPTP client uses the assigned IP address as its

source address for the duration of the connection.

To enable PPTP and specify the PPTP address range or specify the IP address for the

peer's remote IP on the PPTP client side, go to the customized screen in the web-based

manager, select the required options, and then select Apply.

Note: The start and end IPs in the PPTP address range must be in the same 24-bit subnet,

e.g. 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.254.
