VPN Setting Up PPTP Server 9 NOTE Before navigating away from this page, click Save to save your settings, or click Cancel to undo them. Any unsaved changes are abandoned. Enable or disable the following settings, as needed: • IPSec Passthrough: Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is a suite of protocols used to implement secure exchange of packets at the IP layer. IPSec Passthrough is enabled by default to allow IPSec tunnels to pass through the router. • PPTP Passthrough: Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) allows the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) to be tunneled through an IP network. PPTP Passthrough is enabled by default. • L2TP Passthrough: Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol is the method used to enable Point-to-Point sessions via the Internet on the Layer 2 level. L2TP Passthrough is enabled by default. Setting Up PPTP Server Use the VPN > PPTP Server page to enable up to five PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) VPN tunnels for users who are running PPTP client software on Windows XP or 2000. PPTP clients are included by default in Microsoft Windows. NOTE In Windows XP/2000, a user opens the Network Connections panel and creates a new connection. In the wizard, the user selects the option to create a connection to the workplace using a Virtual Private Network connection. The user will need to know the host name or IP address for the router. This value needs to match the value that you enter on the VPN > PPTP Server page. The wizard guides the user to create a desktop shortcut, which can be used to launch the client.
