Linux configure point to point tunneling PPTP VPN client for Microsoft PPTP vpn server

With this tip you will be able to work from home using VPN and that too
from Linux / FreeBSD system for the proprietary Microsoft
Point-to-Point vpn server.



Different organization uses different VPN connection options such
as SSL, PPTP or IPSEC. When you need to access corporate network and
its services, you need to login using VPN.



The Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a method for
implementing virtual private networks. It works on Data link layer (#2
layer) on TCP/IP model. Personally I prefer IPSEC. PPTP Client is a
Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD client for the proprietary Microsoft
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol, PPTP. Allows connection to a PPTP
based Virtual Private Network (VPN) as used by employers and some cable
and ADSL internet service providers.




But many originations use PPTP because it is easy to use and works with Windows, Mac OS X, Linux/*BSD and other handled devices.
