Configuring Advanced PPTP Settings

  1. Open the Remote Access > PPTP > Advanced tab.

  1. Set the encryption strength.

    In the Encryption Strength section, select the encryption strength from the drop-down list. The available options are weak (40 bit) and strong (128 bit).

    Security Note – You should always set encryption to Strong (128-bit) except when your network includes endpoints that cannot support this. Both sides of the connection must use the same encryption strength.

  2. Click Apply to save your settings.

  3. Optionally, enable debug mode.

    In the Debug Mode section, if you select Enable debug mode, the PPTP daemon log file contains extended information about PPTP connection negotiation.

  4. Click Apply to save your settings.

  1. Open the Remote Access > Advanced page.

    This page allows you to define name servers (DNS and WINS) and the name service domain, which should be assigned to hosts during the connection establishment.

  1. Click Apply to save your settings.
