'''Web proxies''' facilitate access to content on the World Wide Web and provide anonymity for the connecting clients. This is because the web proxy relays connected clients' requests through itself. Thus, the clients effectively "adopt" the server's Public IP address.
If you plan on using the PPTP Server as a web proxy, you will need to edit one preexisting '''Zone Forwarding''' rule. In the router's WebUI, go to '''Network → Firewall → General Settings''', locate '''pptp''' in the Zone Forwarding table and click the "Edit" button next to it:

After this you will be redirected to the PPTP Zone Settings page where you will need to place a check mark next to the '''wan''' destination zone:

After you save the changes your PPTP Server will now also act as a web proxy
'''NOTE''': this step is purely optional and should be used only if you plan on using your server as a web proxy for your clients. If you are just planning to use PPTP to connect multiple remote networks into a single virtual network, you should probably skip this step.
