Configuring the remote VPN client
Having set up the SnapGear PPTP VPN server as described above, the remote VPN clients can now
be configured to securely access the local network. You will need to supply the VPN client
username and password. Your remote users will need these to access the SnapGear PPTP VPN from
the remote site. These names may or may not be the same as your normal network username and
password – and they will almost certainly be different from the username and password your remote
users use when they log onto to their local ISP.

Description
This Username is required for VPN authentication only. The name
selected is case-sensitive (for example Jimsmith is not the same as

set for dial-in access.
Optional. Most Windows clients expect you to specify a domain name
in upper case.
Enter the password for the remote VPN user.
Re-enter the password to confirm.
