SnapGear 1.7.8 - Manual (Page 73)

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).
