Pptp And L2Tp; Pptp Vpn Server - Secure Computing SG300 User Manual

PPTP and L2TP

The SnapGear unit includes a PPTP and an L2TP VPN server. These allow remote
Windows clients to securely connect to the local network.
PPTP or L2TP are also commonly used to secure connections from a guest network; see
the Guest Network section in the chapter entitled Network Setup.

PPTP VPN Server

To setup a PPTP connection from a remote Windows client to your SnapGear unit and
local network:
Enable and configure the PPTP VPN server.
Set up VPN user accounts on the SnapGear unit and enable the appropriate
authentication security.
Configure the VPN clients at the remote sites. The client does not require special
software — the SG PPTP Server supports the standard PPTP client software
included with Windows 95/98, Windows ME, Windows XP, WinNT and Windows
2000. The SG PPTP server is also compatible with Unix PPTP client software.
Connect the remote VPN client.
Enable the PPTP server
Select PPTP VPN Server from the VPN section of the main menu.
