As indicated by the figure above, the configuration we are trying to achieve here is very basic: it concerns two RUTxxx routers - RUT1 and RUT2. One functions as a PPTP Server, the other - a PPTP Client. They are connected into a virtual network via a PPTP Tunnel.

'''Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol''' ('''PPTP''') is a Virtual Private Network (VPN) protocol that uses a TCP control channel and a Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnel to encapsulate PPP packets.
This article provides an extensive configuration example with details on how to create a connection between a PPTP Server and Client, both of which configured on RUTxxx routers.
==Configuration overview and prerequisites==
Before we begin, let's overview the configuration that we are attempting to achieve and the prerequisites that make it possible.
'''Prerequisites''':
* Two RUTxxx routers of any type (excluding RUT850)
* A SIM card with a Public Static or Public Dynamic IP address for the PPTP Server
* An end device (PC, Laptop, Tablet, Smartphone) to configure the routers
