PPTP
The Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a method for implementing virtual
private networks. PPTP uses a control channel over TCP and a GRE tunnel
operating to encapsulate PPP packets.
The PPTP specification does not describe encryption or authentication features
and relies on the PPP protocol being tunneled to implement security functionality.
However the most common PPTP implementation, shipping with the Microsoft
Windows product families, implements various levels of authentication and
encryption natively as standard features of the Windows PPTP stack. The
intended use of this protocol is to provide similar levels of security and remote
access as typical VPN products.
