PPTP client setup
The SnapGear PPTP client enables the SnapGear appliance to establish a VPN to a remote network running a PPTP server (usually a Microsoft Windows server).
To set up a SnapGear PPTP VPN Client, select PPTP VPN Client from the VPN menu and create a new VPN connection by entering:
•A descriptive name for the VPN connection. This may describe the purpose for the connection.
•The remote PPTP server IP address to connect to.
•A username and password to use when logging in to the remote VPN. You may need to obtain this information from the system administrator of the remote PPTP server and,
•Optionally, the remote network’s netmask. This is used to determine which packets should go the remote network.
•Click Add.
