Authorization by PPTP

Do not use this type of connection. This connection method is EXTREMELY insecure and has been left solely for compatibility with older solutions. Use IPsec-IKEv2.

Authorization by PPTP protocol involves authorization via a secure network tunnel between the user’s network device and the SafeUTM internet gateway.

Upon successful authorization and establishment of a network tunnel, an additional IP address will automatically be assigned to the network device to gain access to internet resources. Using authorization by PPTP does not affect the ability of a network device to access LAN resources in any way.


Configuring SafeUTM Global Settings

To set up authorization by PPTP protocol you need to perform the following actions:

  1. Go to Users -> VPN connections.
  2. Select PPTP Authorization and click Save.

The user is assigned an IP address automatically from the pool of addresses for VPN configured in the section Users -> VPN connections (for example, 10.128.0.0/16).

In order to set up a static binding of addresses issued via VPN to certain users, go to Users -> VPN connections -> Fixed VPN IP Addresses, click "+ Add" and specify the intended user and IP address. An example of a fixed VPN IP address can be seen below:

Configuring Users in SafeUTM

Allow the user to connect via VPN from the Internet by checking in the user settings (Users -> User & Group -> General tab) in the box Allow remote access via VPN.


Possible Problems


If a VPN connection is established but it is not possible to access local network resources
