Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)
Point-to-Point Tunneling is a technology for creating Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). A VPN is
a private network of computers that uses the public Internet to connect some nodes. Because the
Internet is essentially an open network, the Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is used to
ensure that messages transmitted from one VPN node to another are secure. With PPTP, users can
dial in to their corporate network via the Internet.
