It should be noted that PPTP does have some serious vulnerabilities (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-Point_Tunneling_Protocol#Security http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-Point_Tunneling_Protoc...) and should probably be avoided if security is your primary concern.
- olalonde 14y agoTrue but it's much easier to set up on server side as well as client side. I mainly use VPN to get around firewall of China so security isn't really an issue for me.
- joethompson 14y agoYeah, unfortunately the others are a bigger pain, main reason why I use PPTP myself.
- MikeCapone 14y agoWouldn't getting around China's firewall mean that security is more, not less, important? I know that if I was in a country where the government could imprison me for what I read or write, I'd make double-certain my security is up to par.
- yuhong 14y agoIn particular, note that MS-CHAPv2 with PPTP only provide 56-bit security.
