PPTP Client Setup
The PPTP client enables the CyberGuard SG appliance to establish a VPN to a remote
network running a PPTP server (usually a Microsoft Windows server).
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).
