VPN Tunnel Types
A VPN provides a secure communication channel (tunnel) between two gateway
routers or a remote worker and a gateway router. You can create different types of
VPN tunnels, depending on the needs of your business. Several scenarios are
described below. Read these descriptions to understand the options and the
steps required to set up your VPN.
Remote access using PPTP
In this scenario, a remote user with a Microsoft computer connects to a PPTP
server at your site to access network resources. Use this option to simplify VPN
setup. You do not have to configure VPN policies. Remote users can connect by
using the PPTP client from a Microsoft computer. There is no need to install a VPN
client. However, be aware that security vulnerabilities have been found in this
protocol.
