C. Configuring a PPTP Server on TP-LINK router

Step 1 : Access Router A’s management page, click on VPN->L2TP/PPTP->IP Address Pool,

enter Pool Name and IP Address Range, and then click on Add.

NOTE:

1) The IP addresses in the IP Address Pool can only be in the same subnet with the VPN

router’s LAN port in the latest firmware, and in the earlier version firmware, IP Address pool

must be in the different subnet with the VPN router’s LAN IP address range.

2) If the IP addresses in the IP Address Pool is in the same subnet with the VPN router’s LAN

port, the remote VPN clients can directly access the Internet. It’s recommended that the IP

address range in the IP Address Pool do not overlap with the one in the local DHCP IP

address pool. If not in the same subnet, it must configure an extra multi-nets NAT entry.

Only in this way, the remote VPN clients can access the Internet via the VPN router in the

headquarters. The following contents will respectively introduce the two situations.
