VPN (Virtual Private Network) has become more of a necessity for Internet users. PPTP, L2TP/IPSec and OpenVPN are the 3 common VPN protocols provided by VPN service providers. Sometimes we are asked, “Which is better, PPTP VPN or Open VPN?”. The Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is the most widely supported VPN method among Windows clients. PPTP has relatively low overhead, making it faster than some other VPN methods.
The advantages of PPTP VPN are:
1.
PPTP VPN is easy to setup on Windows, Mac and Linux operating system. Iphone, Ipod Touch, Android, and Windows Mobile are just a few of the devices that work natively with PPTP. It’s a very easy setup, just a Host Name, Login and Password in the network settings. With your PPTP settings you can use any computer around the world to connect, even computers in Internet Café’s.
2.
Usually PPTP offers a faster connection than a OpenVPN SSL VPN.
Bandwidth and Hosting is expensive. A free VPN may die or become a paid service if the operator can’t afford the server fee. Below are 3 free PPTP VPN working in July, 2012.
