4-1-4. PPTP

PPTP stands for Point to Point Tunneling Protocol. It was developed by a consortium including Microsoft and is
used for establishing VPN (Virtual Private Network) tunnels across the Internet. This allows remote users to
securely and inexpensively access their corporate network from anywhere on the Internet.
PPTP uses a client-server model for establishing VPN connections. Most Microsoft operating systems ship with
a PPTP client, so there is no need to purchase third-party client software. PPTP has the additional advantage
over other VPN technologies of being easy to setup.
WAN Port IP Assignment: Select PPTP.
Host Name: The Host Name is optional but may be required by some ISPs. The default host name is the device
name of the Router and may be changed.
