==Introduction==
'''Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol''' ('''PPTP''') is Virtual Private Networks (VPN) protocol that uses a TCP control channel and a Generic Routing Encapsulation tunnel to encapsulate PPP packets.
This article provides an extensive configuration example of how to create a connection between a PPTP Server and Client, both of which configured on RUT 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 RUT 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) for configuring the routers
----
'''Configuration scheme''':

The configuration we are trying to achieve here is very basic, as indicated by the figure above. It concerns two RUT 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.
==Router configuration==
If you have familiarized yourself with the configuration scheme and have all of the devices in order, you can start configuring your routers using instructions provided in this section.
===PPTP Server (RUT1)===
----
First, lets configure the PPTP '''Server'''. 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]]''') .
===PPTP Client (RUT2)===

==Testing the set up==
