Normally all of our Troubleshoot Tuesdays have to do with setting up OpenVPN, the more difficult of the VPN Protocols. This time we’d like to highlight PPTP which sometimes gets overlooked. While less secure, PPTP can be a better choice for people in some countries, especially in places where blocks are put into place a lot, such as China. Sometimes in China PPTP works and sometimes OpenVPN works. Having the ability to use either one is really useful. There are also places where PPTP is faster than OpenVPN because of the lowered security. We’re going to highlight IPVanish’s PPTP this time around, which is easy and efficient for even beginner VPN users.

Get your PPTP information

1. Log into your account at IPVanish.com
2. Click on Server List
3. Choose the server you would like to connect to. 

Starting PPTP in your Sabai Technology IPVanish VPN Router
