Security > User Roles > VPN Dialers
The VPN dialer can be downloaded using Captive Portal. For the user role assigned through Captive Portal,
configure the dialer by the name used to identify the dialer. For example, if the captive portal client is
assigned the guest role after logging on through captive portal and the dialer is called
mydialer, configure
mydialer as the dialer to be used in the guest role.
Select a dialer from the drop-down list and assign it to the user role. This dialer will be available for
download when a client logs in using captive portal and is assigned this role.
The

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is an alternative to L2TP/IPSec.
Like L2TP/IPSec, PPTP provides a logical transport mechanism to send PPP
frames as well as tunneling or encapsulation so that the PPP frames can be
sent across an IP network. PPTP relies on the PPP connection process to
perform user authentication and protocol configuration.
With PPTP, data encryption begins after PPP authentication and connection
process is completed. PPTP connections use Microsoft Point-to-Point
Encryption (MPPE), which uses the Rivest-Shamir-Aldeman (RSA) RC-4
encryption algorithm. PPTP connections require user-level authentication
through a PPP-based authentication protocol (MSCHAPv2) is the currently-
supported method).
