Dial-Up Networking for VPN
Microsoft Windows Dial-Up Networking software permits a remote standalone workstation to establish a VPN tunnel to a PPTP server such as a Motorola Netopia® Router located at a central site. Dial-Up Networking also allows a mobile user who may not be connected to a PAC to dial into an intermediate ISP and establish a VPN tunnel to, for example, a corporate headquarters, remotely. Motorola Netopia® Routers also can serve as a PAC at the workstation's site, making it unnecessary for the standalone workstation to initiate the tunnel. In such a case, the Dial-Up Networking software is not required, since the Motorola Netopia® Router initiates the tunnel.
This section is provided for users who may require the VPN client software for Dial-Up Networking in order to connect to an ISP who provides a PPTP account.
Microsoft Windows Dial-Up Networking (DUN) is the means by which you can initiate a VPN tunnel between your individual remote client workstation and a private network such as your corporate LAN via the Internet. DUN is a software adapter that allows you to establish a tunnel.
