PPTP server setup

The SnapGear VPN Router includes PPTP Server, a virtual private network server that supports up
to forty simultaneous VPN tunnels, depending on the SnapGear VPN Router model. The SnapGear
PPTP Server allows remote Windows clients to securely connect to the local network.
To setup a VPN connection:
•
Enable and configure the PPTP VPN server.
•
Set up VPN user accounts on the SnapGear VPN Router - with appropriate authentication
security enabled.
•
Configure the VPN clients at the remote sites. There is no need for any special software for the
client. The SnapGear PPTP Server supports the standard PPTP client software now included in
Windows 95/98, Windows ME, Windows XP, WinNT and Windows 2000. The VPN
connection is simple to configure using the standard Dial-Up Networking software. The
SnapGear PPTP Server is also compatible with Unix PPTP client software.
•
Connect the remote VPN client.
