PPTP

The Point to Point Tunneling Protocol is used to transfer information securely between VPNs (Virtual Private Routers). Encryption methods are employed in the transfer of information between you and your ISP using a key encryption. This option is specific for European users whose ISPs support the PPTP protocol for the uplink connection. To connect to your ISP’s server using this protocol, the information in this window must be provided to you by your ISP and then properly implemented.

There are two ways to enable the router to become a PPTP client, one is through assigning the router an IP address dynamically, which means that the DHCP protocol will be implemented by the Router to automatically configure the IP settings. The user may input the IP settings manually by choosing the Static IP option above the configuring area. To configure the router to be a PPTP client, complete the following fields and click the Save Settings button.
