6.3.3 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.

Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information (and the

ZyXEL Device's WAN IP address). The field to the right displays the (read-only)

DNS server IP address that the ISP assigns.
Select User-Defined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS

server's IP address in the field to the right. If you chose User-Defined, but leave the

IP address set to 0.0.0.0, User-Defined changes to None after you click Apply. If

you set a second choice to User-Defined, and enter the same IP address, the

second User-Defined changes to None after you click Apply.
Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not configure a

DNS server, you must know the IP address of a computer in order to access it.
