Item Notes Description
Tunnel Name
Mandatory field.
1 - 32 characters
Add a meaningful name.
Interface
Mandatory field. WAN-1 is available only when WAN-1 interface is enabled).
The same applies to other WAN interfaces (i.e. WAN-2).
Operation
mode
Mandatory field. There are three available operation modes: Always on, Failover, Load
Balance
Failover/ Always on: Define whether the PPTP client is a failover tunnel
function or an always on tunnel.
Note
– If this PPTP is a failover tunnelling, you will need to select
a primary IPSec tunnel from which to failover to.
Load Balance – Define whether the PPTP tunnel connection will take part
in load balance function of the gateway. You will not need to select which
WAN interface as the system will automatically utilize the available WAN
interfaces to balance traffic loads. For more details on WAN Load Balance,
refer to Basic Network > WAN & Uplink > Load Balance tab.
Note
– Load Balance function is not available for the gateway
with single WAN.
Remote
IP/FQDN
Mandatory field.
Format can be ipv4
address or FQDN
Enter the public IP address or the FQDN of the PPTP server.
User Name
Mandatory field. Enter the User Name for this PPTP tunnel to be authenticated with when
connecting to PPTP server.
Value Range: 1 - 32 characters
Password
Mandatory field. Enter a secure password for this PPTP tunnel to be authenticated with
when connecting to PPTP server.
Default
Gateway /
Remote
Subnet
Mandatory field. Specify a gateway for this PPTP tunnel to reach PPTP server.
When you choose Remote Subnet, you need to specify one more setting:
the remote subnet. It is for the Intranet of PPTP VPN server. So, at PPTP
client peer, the packets whose destination is in the dedicated subnet will
be transferred via the PPTP VPN tunnel. Others will be transferred based
on current routing policy of the security gateway at PPTP client peer.
If you choose Default Gateway option for the PPTP client peer, all packets,
including the Internet accessing of PPTP Client peer, will go through the
established PPTP VPN tunnel. That means the remote PPTP VPN server
controls the flowing of any packets from the PPTP client peer. Certainly,
those packets come through the PPTP VPN tunnel.
The Remote Subnet format must be IP address/netmask (e.g. 10.0.0.2/24)
Protocol
Mandatory field.
All unselected by
default.
Specify one or more Authentication Protocol(s) for this PPTP tunnel.
