Poptop – PPTP server

Poptop is an open source implementation of a PPTP server.

PPTP stands for Point to Point Tunneling Protocol. It was developed by a consortium including Microsoft and is used for establishing VPN (Virtual Private Network) tunnels across the Internet.

PPTP uses a client-server model for establishing VPN connections.

Features include:

• Microsoft compatible authentication and encryption (MSCHAPv2, MPPE 40 – 128 bit RC4 encryption).
• Support for multiple client connections.
• Linux servers can now function seamlessly in a PPTP VPN environment. This enables administrators to leverage the considerable benefits of both Microsoft and Linux.
