<header>PPTP VPN Client</header>
|
|
|
|
This module allows you to create VPN connections to other servers using the
|
|
PPTP protocol. The module makes use of the standard Linux PPTP client program, and
|
|
the PPP daemon. Remote servers must be running a PPTP daemon, which can be
|
|
configured using Webmin's PPTP VPN Server module. <p>
|
|
|
|
Multiple tunnels may be defined, each of which must have a
|
|
remote server to connect to, a login name and a password. A tunnel can also
|
|
have several associated static routes, to be brought up when it is connected.
|
|
By default, only a route to the server at the other end of the tunnel is
|
|
created when it is activated. <p>
|
|
|
|
Once a tunnel has been created, it can be activated using the <b>Connect to</b>
|
|
button at the bottom of the main page. Multiple tunnels can be active at any
|
|
one time, and those that are active can be shut down with the <b>Disconnect
|
|
from</b> button. <p>
|
|
|
|
Also on the main page is the <b>Edit Global PPP Options</b> button for editing
|
|
settings that apply to all tunnels. The most important are those related to
|
|
MPPE, an encryption protocol using by Microsoft VPN servers to secure PPTP
|
|
connections. However, support in both the PPP daemon and the kernel is needed
|
|
for MPPE to work. PPPd versions 2.4.2 and above support MPPE natively, and
|
|
a patch exists for older versions as well. <p>
