About PPTP tunnels
To set up a PPTP tunnel, you create a Connection Profile including the IP address and other relevant information for the remote PPTP partner. You use the same procedure to initiate a PPTP tunnel that terminates at a remote PPTP server or to terminate a tunnel initiated by a remote PPTP client.
PPTP Configuration
To set up the router as a PPTP Network Server (PNS) capable of answering PPTP tunnel requests you must also configure the VPN Default Answer Profile. See “VPN Default Answer Profile” on page
PPTP is a Datalink Encapsulation option in Connection Profiles. It is not an option in device or link configuration screens, as PPTP is not a native encapsulation. Consequently, the Easy Setup Profile does not offer PPTP datalink encapsulation. See “Creating a new Connection Profile” on page
Channel 4 (and higher) events, such as connections and disconnections, reported in the WAN Event Histories are VPN tunnel events.
To define a PPTP tunnel, navigate to the Add Connection Profile menu from the Main Menu.
