In linux, the installation and configuration process of VPN-poptop-Linux Enterprise Application-Linux server application information is as follows.
I. Overview
Poptop, which is defined on The official website as The PPTP Server for Linux, is to use PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol, Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) to access The VPN over The Internet (Virtual Private Network, virtual LAN), which allows remote users to access the company's internal network securely and cheaply from anywhere on the Internet.
Based on the connection method, VPN can be divided into two types: Lan to Lan mode and client to Lan mode. The former can be used to connect two independent local networks, just like in a local area network. The latter should use Poptop.
PPTP uses the client-server mode to establish a VPN connection. Most Microsoft operating systems have built-in PPTP clients, so you do not need to install third-party client software, which is easier to install than other VPN technologies. For more information about PPTP, see RFC 2367. Before the emergence of Poptop, there was no method to connect to a Linux host using the PPTP client. With Poptop, the Linux host can work in a pptp vpn environment immediately.
