the PPTP protocol is close to a cleartext implementation in that it is easy to
decode captured information . MS improved on PPTP by starting to offer L2TP
which allows for higher level encryptions like IPSEC to traverse the VPN.
so its not about actually breaking in, its about people listening
Thanks for this. This helps. I have been giving OpenVPN a play. It seems to
do everything I want, except I have not been able to access network shares from
remote yet. Not a deal breaker, but nice.

I am experiencing the same problem with the daily snapshots as I am with
the 1.0.1 release version. The following items cause the pfsense
firewall to stop responding to anything:
1. Removing a static route
2. Doing anything in the Miscellaneous or Traffic Shaper and Firewall

We're using Microsoft pptp vpn with a winnt Server from behind multiwan adsl
pfsense with no issues.
Up to know everything works fine even with prolonged sessions for more than

Once authenticated everything works exactly like being inside the lan.

As far as it being an ISP issue, I work for the ISP I use. ;-) I haven't

IPSEC Filtering is now present in the 1.0.X branch first appearing in
todays snapshot.
By default on upgrade we will install a default PASS rule for the
IPSEC interface to permit traffic. So basically anyone upgrading will
not see a difference. However, you can edit the default rule

Hi I am trying to create a seperate subnet for security on my AP. I have

After you assign the VLAN Tag ID to the physical network interface, you
need to create a new IP interface from the Interface Assignments
