About Mobile VPN with PPTP

Use PPTP and Access the Internet

You can enable remote users to access the Internet through a PPTP tunnel. When you do this, all firewall
policies are applied to the remote user. For example, if you have configured WebBlocker for outbound traffic,
your WebBlocker rules will apply to traffic coming through the PPTP tunnel and sent to the Internet.
When you set up your connection on the client computer, from the Advanced TCP/IP Settings dialog box,
select the Use default gateway on remote network check box. If this check box is not selected, Internet
traffic sent from the PPTP user does not go through the VPN.
To open the Advanced TCP/IP Settings dialog box on Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 2000:
1. Right-click the VPN connection in Control Panel > Network Connections.
2. Select Properties and select the Networking tab.
3. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in the list box and click Properties.
4. On the General tab, click Advanced.
The Advanced TCP/IP Settings dialog box appears.
5. Click the Use default gateway on remote network check box.
6. Click OK.
