PoPToP is the PPTP server solution for Linux (ports exist for Solaris 2.6,
|
2003-06-18 03:01:20 +02:00
|
|
|
OpenBSD and FreeBSD and others). To date no real solution existed if you
|
|
|
|
|
wished to include Linux servers in PPTP established VPNs. PoPToP resolves
|
1999-10-08 06:32:23 +02:00
|
|
|
that problem by allowing Linux servers to function seamlessly in the PPTP
|
2003-06-18 03:01:20 +02:00
|
|
|
VPN environment. This enables administrators to leverage the considerable
|
|
|
|
|
benefits of both Microsoft and Linux. The current pre-release version
|
|
|
|
|
supports Windows 95/98/NT/2000 PPTP clients and PPTP Linux clients. PoPToP
|
1999-10-08 06:32:23 +02:00
|
|
|
is free GNU software.

The PoPTop pre-release server is not yet fully optimised. It has been
|
1999-10-08 06:32:23 +02:00
|
|
|
released early so as to encourage other developers to become involved in
|
2003-06-18 03:01:20 +02:00
|
|
|
its development. On release, PoPToP will be fully compliant with IETF PPTP
|
1999-10-08 06:32:23 +02:00
|
|
|
Internet Draft and it will seamlessly support Windows PPTP clients with the
|
|
|
|
|
full range of encryption and authentication features.
