19 About Mobile VPN with PPTP
You can configure the Firebox X Edge e-Series as a PPTP VPN endpoint and allow up to 10 users to make
simultaneous secure connections to the Edge and access the networks protected by the Edge.
Before remote users can connect to the Firebox with PPTP, you must:
 On the Edge, activate PPTP and enter the IP address of the first of 10 available sequential IP addresses
on the trusted or optional network that are currently not in use. The Edge must be able to give these
IP addresses to remote users when they make a PPTP connection.
 With local authentication, enable PPTP connections in each remote user’s Firewall user profile. When a
user makes a PPTP connection to the Edge, the user is then given full access to the trusted or optional
networks.
 With Active Directory or RADIUS authentication, add a group to the Edge that has the same name as
the group on the authentication server that needs PPTP access. Enable PPTP connections for
the group.
 Configure the PPTP connection on the client computer.
