PPTP configuration

Thu Dec 18, 2008 9:59 am

Hello again.

Currently my PPTP setup eats two IP addresses for each VPN connection. Is that possible to use only one for each tunnel? Thx.

P.S.: Mikrotik version 3.17

Thx for quick reply!

Will that be 100% safe? No caveats? Thx.

no, it is safe to use same ip address for all pptp tunnels on local side of pptp server.

What is the problem with same local IP?

I have 100's of tunnels with same local.

I'd like to know so I can fix if needed

Please, could you explain why it is necessary a local and a remote address?

I have configured two secrets. I understand that they could use the same local address, but must use different remote addresses. am i right?

Now i am creating a new pptp-in server for each secret. is this right? or could i use only one pptp-in server for my two secrets?

Excuse my poor english
