use, or else manually specify CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) or PAP (Password
Authentication Protocol) if you know which type the server is using (when acting as a client), or else the
authentication type you want clients connecting to you to use (when acting as a server). When using PAP,
the password is sent unencrypted, whilst CHAP encrypts the password before sending, and also allows
for challenges at different periods to ensure that the client has not been replaced by an intruder.

Data sent over the VPN connection can be encrypted by an MPPE algorithm. Default
is
Auto,
so that this setting is negotiated when establishing a connection, or else you can manually

The data can be encrypted by MPPE algorithm with 40 bits or 128 bits. Default is
Auto
, it is
negotiated when establishing a connection. 128 bit keys provide stronger encryption than 40 bit keys.

select Stateful mode. If you select Stateless mode, the key will be changed in each packet.
