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

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).
