PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) is a protocol (set of communication rules) that allows
corporations to extend their own corporate network through private "tunnels" over the Internet.
Effectively, a corporation uses a wide-area network as a single large local area network. A company no
longer needs to lease its own lines for wide-area communication but can securely use the public networks.
This kind of interconnection is known as a virtual private network.
Since PPTP is based on Point-to-Point Protocol, only one computer in your LAN can access the VPN
server at a time.
