What Does PPTP Stand For?

PPTP stands for Point To Point Tunneling Protocol Microsoft

PPTP, or Point-To-Point Tunneling Protocol, is a network communication protocol developed by Microsoft that enables the secure transmission of data over the internet by encapsulating and encrypting network traffic. It establishes a virtual private network (VPN) connection, allowing remote users to connect securely to a private network. PPTP is known for its simplicity and ease of configuration, making it a widely used solution for establishing secure communication channels. However, it is often regarded as less secure compared to more modern VPN protocols.
