So the advice in the year 2012 was to just ditch any PPTP use. (Even from Microsoft....)

Just a general question at this point...We have a network which is joined to another office using a branch office VPN with a Watchguard Firewall at one end and a Netgear VPN router at the other. &nbsp;Do you know if it's possible to create a second permanent VPN connection from the Watchguard to a software PPTP VPN provided by Windows 2012 on a virtual hosted server?<br />
<br />
Thanks

PPTP VPN tunnel on a Watchguard Firewall (When a BOVPN already exists)

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
