Advanced Settings: Enabling Debug Mode and Encryption Level Parent topic

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.

Procedure

  1. Go to Network → User VPN → PPTP VPN → General.
  2. Click the Advanced Settings link.
  3. Specify the Encryption strength:
    • 40 bits (Weak)
    • 128 bits (Strong)
  4. To show additional debugging information in PPTP logs, elect the Enable Debug Mode check box.
  5. Click Apply.
