for establishing VPN (Virtual Private Network) tunnels across the Internet. This allows remote users to securely access
their corporate network (or hosting network) from anywhere on the Internet.

PPTP uses a client-server model for establishing VPN connections. Most Microsoft operating systems (Windows 2000 and

additional advantage over other VPN technologies of being easy client setup.
