Protocol Security With PPTP
- by why
I find these words in pptp client source :
Summary
by Peter Mueller
PPTP is known to be a faulty
protocol. The designers of the
protocol, Microsoft, recommend not
to use it due to the inherent risks.
Lots of people use PPTP anyway due
to ease of use, but that doesn't mean
it is any less hazardous. The
maintainers of PPTP Client and Poptop
recommend using OpenVPN (SSL based) or
IPSec instead.

But as far as i know, there are many people use PPTP as a VPN, because there is no need to install client on windows, what do you think about pptp ?
