Advanced Settings: Enabling Debug Mode and Encryption Level

Deep Edge PPTP VPN uses Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption (MPPE). MPPE is a protocol for encrypting data across Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) and virtual private network (VPN) links. It uses the RSA RC4 encryption algorithm. MPPE supports 40-bit and 128-bit session keys, which are changed frequently to improve security.

To enable the debug mode and change the encryption strength:

1. Go to Network > User VPN > PPTP VPN > General.

2. Click the Advanced Settings link.

• Specify the Encryption strength:

• 40 bits (Weak)

• 128 bits (Strong)

3. Check the Enable Debug Mode check box to show additional debugging information in PPTP logs.

4. Click Apply.
