PPTP Server Setup
The CyberGuard SG appliance includes a PPTP Server, a virtual private network server
that supports up to forty simultaneous VPN tunnels (depending on your CyberGuard SG
appliance model). The CyberGuard SG PPTP Server allows remote Windows clients to
securely connect to the local network.
To setup a VPN connection:
•
Enable and configure the PPTP VPN server.
•
Set up VPN user accounts on the CyberGuard SG appliance and enable the
appropriate authentication security.
•
Configure the VPN clients at the remote sites. The client does not require special
software. The CyberGuard SG PPTP Server supports the standard PPTP client
software included with Windows 95/98, Windows ME, Windows XP, WinNT and
Windows 2000. The VPN connection is simple to configure using the standard
Dial-Up Networking software. The CyberGuard SG PPTP Server is also
compatible with Unix PPTP client software.
•
Connect the remote VPN client.
