![]() ![]() Again, we choose the range as per the customer requirement. ![]() For example, to set the PPTP server IP as 192.168.0.1 and the VPN IP range for clients as 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.200, we add the following entries. It is also easy to set up, which, when paired with its speed, might make it seem like a viable VPN protocol. Here, our Dedicated Engineers add the server IP and client IP at the end of the file. So because of its abysmal security, a PPTP VPN remains, by a small margin, one of the faster VPN protocols to date. Ironically, however, PPTP’s downfalls are also its only saving grace – bad encryption means small overhead, which directly increases speed. In fact, the NSA was allegedly able to crack and bypass it, which allowed them to monitor PPTP users’ online activity.Īside from its lack of security, the protocol also struggles to bypass firewalls and can have compatibility issues with routers. It can use three authentication protocols, two out of which (PAP and CHAP) are known to have been breached and exploited before, and only supports MPPE (Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption) encryption keys of up to 128 bits.ġ28-bit keys are usually not that easy to crack, but MPPE is infamous for being extra vulnerable to bit-flipping attacks. PPTP is a direct predecessor of PPP, an even older Point-to-Point Protocol, and is built on its outdated framework.
