'''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 are configured on RUTxxx routers.

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, and the other - is a PPTP Client. They are connected to a virtual network via a PPTP Tunnel.

If you're using the server as a default gateway, end devices connected to the PPTP client router should have the Public IP address of the PPTP server. You can visit this website to check the Public IP address: http://www.whatsmyip.org/

=Configuring client PPTP tunnel using Third-party PPTP service provider=
==Configuration overview and prerequisites==
We are going to use [https://www.vpnbook.com/ VPNBOOK]'s PPTP service to configure our device as a client.<br>
Only one device with RutOS is required.
