PPTP Connection - LAN to LAN

Connection Name: User-defined description of the connection.

Type: Select Dial Out if you want your router to operate as a client (connecting to a remote VPN server, e.g. your office server) or select 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 using PAP, the password is sent unencrypted, whilst CHAP encrypts the password before sending, and also allows for challenges at different periods to ensure that the original client has not been replaced by an intruder.

Data Encryption: Data sent over the VPN connection can be encrypted by an MPPE algorithm. Default is Auto, so that this setting is negotiated when establishing a connection. Alternatively, you can manually Enable or Disable encryption.

Key Length: The data can be encrypted by MPPE algorithm with 40 bits or 128 bits. Default is Auto, which negotiates the that is used when establishing a connection. 128 bit keys provide stronger encryption than 40 bit keys.

Mode: You may select Stateful or Stateless mode. The key will be changed every 256 packets when you select Stateful mode. If you select Stateless mode, the key will be changed in each packet.

Idle Time: Auto-disconnects the VPN connection when there is no activity on the connection for a predetermined period of time. 0 means this connection is always on.
