You don't want to       transmit sensitive data over an MPPE "encrypted" connection.              No, you don't.              Really!                     Using OpenVPN with AES256 may be a bit harder to set up, but improves       security greatly. OpenVPN is much more reliable anyway.       I have a PPTP connection "running" to my company 400km away from me,       which keeps breaking down and running slowly all the time, while an       OpenVPN connection to my server (500km away) runs perfectly fine with a       higher encryption (AES256).                            Regards,       Michael              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
