8.7 WAN PPTP Encapsulation
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables secure transfer of
data from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using
TCP/IP-based networks.
PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol and virtual private networking over public
networks, such as the Internet. The screen shown next is for PPTP encapsulation.
If your Internet connection type is PPTP, select the PPTP option in the Network > WAN >
Internet Connection screen.
