PPP Authentication: PPP currently supports four authentication protocols:
Password Authentication Protocol (PAP), Challenge Handshake Authentication
Protocol (CHAP), and Microsoft CHAP version 1 and 2. Select the authentication
protocols that the device may use when negotiating with a PPTP server. Select
all the protocols if no information is available about the server's authentication
protocols. Note that encryption is performed only if 'Support Microsoft CHAP',
'Support Microsoft CHAP Version 2', or both are selected.

PPP Encryption: PPP supports encryption facilities to secure the data across the
network connection. A wide variety of encryption methods may be negotiated,
although typically only one method is used in each direction of the link. Select the
encryption methods that the device may use when negotiating with a PPTP
server. Select all the methods if no information is available about the server's
encryption methods. Note that PPP encryption can only be used with MS-CHAP
or MS-CHAP-V2 authentication protocols.

Version 6.2
Login User Name: As agreed with ISP.
Login Password: As agreed with ISP.
Support Unencrypted Password (PAP): PAP is a simple, plain-text
authentication scheme. The user name and password are requested by your
networking peer in plain-text. PAP, however, is not a secure authentication
protocol. Man-in-the-middle attacks can easily determine the remote access
client's password. PAP offers no protection against replay attacks, remote
client impersonation, or remote server impersonation.
Support Challenge Handshake Authentication (CHAP): CHAP is a challenge-
response authentication protocol that uses MD5 to hash the response to a
challenge. CHAP protects against replay attacks by using an arbitrary
challenge string per authentication attempt.
Support Microsoft CHAP: Select this check box if you are communicating
with a peer that uses Microsoft CHAP authentication protocol.
Support Microsoft CHAP Version 2: Select this check box if you are
communicating with a peer that uses Microsoft CHAP Version 2
authentication protocol.
Require Encryption: Select this check box to ensure that the PPP connection
is encrypted.
