Configuring the remote VPN client
After setting up the SnapGear PPTP VPN server, the remote VPN clients can be configured to securely access the local network. You need to enter the VPN client username and password that your remote users will use to access the SnapGear PPTP VPN from the remote site.
The names may or may not be the same as your normal network username and password, and should be different from the username and password used by your remote users use to access their local ISP.
The following figure shows the VPN PPTP IP address:
