In order to achieve this functionality, a secure tunnel must be built between the two sites for secure communication over the Internet. The BOSSTM supports the two most popular protocols, IPSec and PPTP . IPSec provides encryption and authentication services at the IP layer. Working at this level, IPSec can protect any traffic carried over IP unlike other encryption methods that only protect a particular higher-level protocol. PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol), is a PPPspecific protocol proposed by Microsoft. The remote user can connect to the PPTP server and access a local host behind the PPTP server. 44 When you select the VPN item in left menu of the web page, IPsec and PPTP configuration options will appear.
