3.6.3.5.1 VPN - PPTP

The router supports PPTP VPN to establish secure, end-to-end private network connections over a public networking infrastructure. There are two kinds of PPTP VPN connections, one is remote access (dial-in & dial-out), and the other is LAN-to-LAN access.

Deploying a remote access VPN enables users to reduce the cost by leveraging the local dial-up infrastructures of the ISP, in addition, transmitting data over a secure VPN tunnel. LAN-to-LAN PPTP VPN is an alternative WAN infrastructure that is used to connect offices and home offices to share network resources with each other over a secure VPN tunnel. There are two types of PPTP VPN supported, Remote Access and LAN-to-LAN (please refer below for more information.). Click Create to configure a new VPN connection.

Connection Name: This allows you to identify this particular connection, e.g. “Connection to officeLAN”.

Type: Check Dial Out if you want your router to operate as a client (connecting to a remote VPNserver, e.g. your office server), check Dial In operates as a VPN server.

•When configuring your router as a Client, enter the remote Server IP Address (or Hostname)you wish to connection to.

•When configuring your router as a server, enter the Private IP Address Assigned to Dial in User address.

Username: If you are a Dial-Out user (client), enter the username provided by your Host. If you are a Dial-In user (server), enter your own username.

Password: If you are a Dial-Out user (client), enter the password provided by your Host. If you are a Dial-In user (server), enter your own password.

PPPAuthentication Type: Default is Auto if you want the router to determine the authentication type to use, or else manually specify CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) or PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) if you know which type the server is using (when acting as a client), or else the authentication type you want clients
