• For secure router-to-router tunnels over the Internet
• To link (bridge) local Intranets or LANs (when EoIP is also used)
• For mobile or remote clients to remotely access an Intranet/LAN of a company (see PPTP
setup for Windows for more information)
Each PPTP connection is composed of a server and a client. The MikroTik RouterOS may function
as a server or client - or, for various configurations, it may be the server for some connections and
client for other connections. For example, the client created below could connect to a Windows
2000 server, another MikroTik Router, or another router which supports a PPTP server.
Quick Setup Guide
To make a PPTP tunnel between 2 MikroTik routers with IP addresses 10.5.8.104 (PPTP server)
and 10.1.0.172 (PPTP client), follow the next steps.
• Setup on PPTP server:
1. Add a user:
[admin@PPTP-Server] ppp secret> add name=jack password=pass \
\... local-address=10.0.0.1 remote-address=10.0.0.2
2. Enable the PPTP server:
[admin@PPTP-Server] interface pptp-server server> set enabled=yes
• Setup on PPTP client:
1. Add the PPTP client:
[admin@PPTP-Client] interface pptp-client> add user=jack password=pass \
\... connect-to=10.5.8.104 disabled=no
