The PPTP implementation in Microsoft® Windows® CE is implemented through the Remote Access Service (RAS) and the Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP). PPTP is a network protocol that implements a security infrastructure for the transfer of data from a remote client to a private enterprise server, thus creating a virtual private network (VPN) by using TCP/IP-based data networks. PPTP supports multiple network protocols and can be used for virtual private networking over public and private networks. PPTP can be used to provide on-demand, virtual networks by using dial-up lines, local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), or the Internet and other public TCP/IP-based networks.
PPTP supports Windows CE-based PPTP clients. Windows CE also supports PPTP servers. For more information on the PPTP Server, see RAS Server/PPTP Server (Incoming).
