•
A descriptive name for the VPN connection, which can provide an indication of the purpose of
this connection.
•
The remote PPTP server IP address to which to connect,
•
A username and password you can use to login to the remote VPN, you may need to obtain this
information from the system administrator of the remote PPTP server and,

connection immediately.
