PPTP Connection - Remote Access
Connection Name: A user-defined name for the connection (e.g. "connection to office").
Type: Select Dial Out if you want your router to operate as a client (connecting to a remote VPN server,
e.g. your office server), select Dial In if you want your router to operate as a VPN server.
When configuring your router as a Client, enter the remote Server IP Address (or Domain
Name) you wish to connection to.
When configuring your router as a server, enter the Private IP Address Assigned to Dial in
User address.
Username: If you are a Dial-Out user (client), enter the username provided by your Host.
Dial-In user (server), enter your own username.
Password: If you are a Dial-Out user (client), enter the password provided by your Host.
Dial-In user (server), enter your own password.
PPP Authentication Type: Default is Auto. This is the correct setting if you want the router to determine
which authentication type to use, or else you can manually specify CHAP (Challenge Handshake
Authentication Protocol) or PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) if you know which type the server is
using (when acting as a client)
connecting to your router to use. When using PAP, the password is sent unencrypted, whilst CHAP
encrypts the password before sending, and also allows for challenges at different periods to ensure that
an intruder has not replaced the original client.
Data Encryption: Data sent over the VPN connection can be encrypted by an MPPE algorithm. Default
is Auto and this means that this setting is negotiated when establishing a connection. Alternatively, you
can manually Enable or Disable encryption.
Key Length: The data can be encrypted by MPPE algorithm with 40 bits or 128 bits. Default is Auto
which means that it is negotiated when establishing a connection. 128 bit keys provide stronger
encryption than 40 bit keys.
Mode: You may select Stateful or Stateless mode. The key will be changed every 256 packets when you
select Stateful mode. If you select Stateless mode, the key will be changed in each packet.
Idle Time: Auto-disconnect the VPN connection when there is no activity on the connection for a
predetermined period of time. 0 means this connection is always on.
Active as default route: If you select this option while using Dial-out connection, all packets will route
through the VPN tunnel to the Internet; therefore, activating the function may degrade Internet
performance.
