What is Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)?

Point-to-point Tunneling Protocol builds on the functionality of the Point-to-Point protocol (PPP) to provide remote access that can be tunneled though the Internet to a destination site or computer. PPTP encapsulates PPP packets using generic routing encapsulation (GRE) protocol, which gives PPTP the flexibility of handling protocols other than IP. The FVL328 supports pass-through mode for PPTP, but does not support end-point mode.
