VPN > PPTP

PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) is a tunneling protocol meant for tunneling IP packets and non-IP packets through the IP only network (the Internet). PPTP offers connections to PPTP clients so that they can become virtual members of the IP pool owned by the PPTP server. In effect, these clients become virtual members of the local subnet regardless of their real IP address.
