8 Wizard: VPN PPTP/L2TP users
8.1 VPN PPTP/L2TP
Both PPTP and L2TP allow connection to a corporate network by employers.
Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a revised and more secure
implementation of the original PPTP implementation. Layer 2 Tunneling
Protocol (L2TP) is an implementation of L2F developed by Cisco in combination
with the user authentication available in PPTP.
These protocols allow people to log onto the network with their general user
name and password from their home PC or laptop and set up a secure virtual
private network (VPN) via the Internet. Computers running Window's XP or
Window's 2000 can already connect to both types of networks, older Window
PC's only support PPTP and can download free L2TP client software from
Microsoft.
Be aware of the fact that the options “LCP extensions”, “software compression”
or “Negotiate multi-link” should be turned off. These are patent encumbered
extensions on the protocol. And the “optional encryption” option “MS-Chap v2”
should be on.
Both these clients can connect to the server once it is configured.
