How to Connect to the VPN Mikrotik Office (PPTP Client)

Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a technology that we can use to access the private network (local) over a public network (Internet). VPN is very useful for accessing the private office network from anywhere as long as we have an internet connection. For more details, please refer to the illustration PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) VPN following:

My analogy there is a need to connect branch offices to headquarters, but branches that do not have a direct connection to the central office intranet. That there is an Internet connection only, while the employees at branch offices need access to an intranet that quite a lot, and his VPN account only one.

To megatasi it, we can take advantage Mikrotik Router to connect to the VPN server and provides intranet connection to all clients in a branch office with only one VPN account only.

How to? Let's discuss together.
