PPTP and L2TP VPN

You can use PPTP and L2TP to create a virtual private network (VPN) between a remote client computer that is running Windows and your internal network. Because PPTP and L2TP are supported by Windows you do not require third-party software on the client computer. Provided your ISP supports PPTP and L2TP connections, you can create a secure connection by making some configuration changes to the client computer and the FortiGate unit.

This chapter provides an overview of how to configure FortiGate PPTP and L2TP VPN. For a complete description of FortiGate PPTP and L2TP, see the FortiGate VPN Guide.
