PPTP Client Setup

The PPTP client enables the CyberGuard SG appliance to establish a VPN to a remote network running a PPTP server (usually a Microsoft Windows server).

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.

Warning

If you are using Windows 98, you must ensure that Dial Up Networking has been upgraded to version 1.4 otherwise you will be unable to use MS-CHAPv2 authentication (the recommended method).
