About PPTP Tunnels

To set up a PPTP tunnel, you create a Connection Profile including the IP address and other relevant information
for the remote PPTP partner. You use the same procedure to initiate a PPTP tunnel that terminates at a remote
PPTP server or to terminate a tunnel initiated by a remote PPTP client.
PPTP configuration
To set up the Router as a PPTP Network Server (PNS) capable of answering PPTP tunnel requests you must also
configure the VPN Default Answer Profile. See
information.
PPTP is a Datalink Encapsulation option in Connection Profiles. It is not an option in device or link configuration
screens, as PPTP is not a native encapsulation. Consequently, the Easy Setup Profile does not offer PPTP
datalink encapsulation. See the
Connection Profiles.
Channel 4 (and higher) events, such as connections and disconnections, reported in the WAN Event Histories
are VPN tunnel events.
To define a PPTP tunnel, navigate to the Add Connection Profile menu from the Main Menu.
