Here are some additional things to keep in mind when using PPTP:
- Security: PPTP is a less secure protocol than IKEv2 or OpenVPN. However, it is still a secure protocol that can protect your data.
- Privacy: PPTP can also help to protect your privacy by hiding your IP address. This can be useful for users who want to keep their online activity private.
- Speed: PPTP is a fast protocol that can provide good speeds for most users. However, speeds may vary depending on the network conditions.
