As mentioned in the prerequisites section, the router that acts as the '''server''' must have a Public Static or Public Dynamic IP address (more information on the subject can be found '''[[Private and Public IP Addresses|here]]'''). If that is in order, we should start configuring the server.

If you've followed the steps presented above, your configuration should be finished. But as with any other configuration, it is always wise to test the set up in order to make sure that it works properly. In order to test a PPTP connection, log in to one of the routers' WebUI and go to '''Services → CLI'''. Log in with user name: '''root''' and the router's admin password. You should then be able to '''ping''' the opposite instance, i.e., if you logged in to the server's CLI, you should be able to ping the client's virtual IP address, and vice versa. To use a ping command, type '''ping <ip_address>''' and press the "Enter" key on your keyboard:
