2.3.4

Connection Type: PPTP

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables transfers of data from a

remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using TCP/IP-based

networks.

PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol, and virtual private networking over public networks,

such as the Internet.

Refer to the appendix for more information on PPTP.

The NBG supports one PPTP server connection at any given time.

Note: This Internet connection type will be supported in the next firmware version.
