PPTP (remote access)
Using the Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), you can provide connections to your network through private tunnels over the internet. The protocol itself does not describe encryption or authentication features. However, the firewall supports several authentication options including Password Authentication Protocol (PAP), Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP), and Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (MS-CHAPv2). The firewall supports PPTP as described in RFC 2637.
