Notes

To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators group. As a security best practice, consider using the Run As command rather than logging on with administrative credentials. If you have logged on with administrative credentials, you can also open Routing and Remote Access by clicking Start, clicking Control Panel, double-clicking Administrative Tools, and then double-clicking Routing and Remote Access. For more information, see Default local groups, Default groups, and Using Run as.
All six filters work together to complete PPTP filtering. The PPTP filtering is not secure unless all six filters are set correctly.
If the six filters are the only filters configured, then the only traffic that is allowed in and out of the interface is PPTP traffic to and from the PPTP server and PPTP client on the computer running Routing and Remote Access.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
