PPTP VPN Server

System > PPTP Server Setup

You can enable and configure the PPTP VPN server on your router to allow remote

computers or mobile devices with PPTP VPN support to connect securely over the

Internet and access the company LAN network.

Setting up the PPTP VPN server

1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page”

on page 7).

2. Click on System and click PPTP Server Setup.

3. For the Mode, select the Enable option to enable the PPTP server.

4. In the Local IP Address field, enter an IP address other than the LAN IP address.

(Default LAN IP: 192.168.10.1) (e.g. 192.168.80.1)

Note: Entering an IP address different from the LAN IP address as the Local IP of the

PPTP server ensures your PPTP VPN clients are able to access the Internet and the router

LAN network via full tunneling. If the LAN IP address is entered, PPTP VPN clients will be

allowed to access router LAN and not the Internet.

5. In the Remote Start/End IP Address fields, enter an IP address range (within the same

Local IP Address subnet range) to assign to PPTP VPN clients.

In this example, we assigned 192.168.80.1 as the Local IP Address for the PPTP server so

we will assign a range such as 192.168.80.10-192.168.80.20.

6. Click Save at the bottom.

7. Click on System, click on PPTP/L2TP Account Setup, and click Create Account.

8. Under Account Setup, enter the User Name and Password for the PPTP account.

(e.g. User1)

9. Under Routing Rule, enter the Local Subnet the remote PPTP VPN clients will be

allowed to access and click Add to add to the Routing Rule List. (e.g. 192.168.10.0/24)

Note: If you want allow PPTP VPN clients to access any local subnet, you can leave the

Local Subnet settings as 0.0.0.0/0 and click Add.
