Select the Required Encryption Level. Access is denied to remote users attempting to
connect not using this encryption level. Strong Encryption (MPPE 128 Bit) is
recommended.

clients can be found. You can select from the following options:
Local: Use the local database defined on the Local Users tab of the Users page.
You must enable the Dial-in Access option for the individual users that are allowed
dial-in access.
RADIUS: Use an external RADIUS server as defined on the RADIUS tab of the
Users page.
TACACS+: Use an external TACACS+ server as defined on the TACACS+ tab of the
Users page.

for PPTP access, and configuring the SnapGear unit to enable authentication against a
RADIUS or TACACS+ server.
