PPTP

Application

This type of connection takes place in the following cases:

• protecting the transmitted information between two users;
• creating a secure tunnel between local networks, excluding direct contact between them;
• creating a secure channel through which a user connects to a particular server;

Principles of operation

The connection is established using PPP session and GRE protocol. The second channel is connected on TCP port. PPTP with the help of its own protocols processes the forwarded information and delivers it to the destination. The connection is established using a PPP session and the GRE protocol.

It is important to understand that one of the main principles of “secret” transfer of information is not only its encryption and the creation of a tunnel, but also to ensure its delivery to a specific recipient. This is why files can only be accessed using a login/password pair. Yes, any password can be cracked, but the process of data transmission through the tunnel cannot. This is the main advantage of PPTP.
