5.3 Example for Configuring PPTP VPN
5.3.1 Network Requirements
The employees at headquarters need to access the network resources through the
server at the US subsidiary via a secure connection. Thus we can build the remote access
VPN tunnel between the employees at headquarter and the gateway device of the US
subsidiary.
In this scenario, both PPTP and L2TP can be used. Here we take PPTP VPN as an example.

5.3.2 Configuration Scheme
To meet the requirements, configure PPTP server on Router A, and configure PPTP
client on the remote PC. For Router A, make sure to add a Multi-Nets NAT entry. This will
ensure Router A will not drop the packets sent from the remote PC. For the remote PC,
use Windows built-in PPTP software or third-party PPTP software to connect to the PPTP
server. Then verify whether the PPTP VPN tunnel is established successfully.
The following section provides the configuration procedure.
